Way Down on Rio Rancho
Things are moving fast at the New Rio Rancho Towne Center, Porky and I thought we better get down here, before it gets any hotter. Wow to late, OK we are out of here back to the house in the AC, keep cool and stay safe everyone.
Cul - de - sac anyone...
Porky and I went over to check out the New Cul -de sack at Orange Grove Ave. and Monroe St. Looks very nice and I'm sure the neighborhood likes it also, they did good job with the trees and all. All it needs now is a "Pocket Park".........B^)

Pasadena Police Show Off Helicopters at Open House
The Pasadena Police Department’s Air Operations Section hosted its annual open house at the Benedict Heliport in Altadena on Saturday.
As part of the Foothill Air Support Team, otherwise known as FAST, the section also serves other communities in the San Gabriel Valley, including Alhambra, Arcadia, Covina, Monrovia, San Marino, Sierra Madre, South Pasadena, and Pomona.
Officers were on hand to show off some of the department's six helicopters, and there were also demonstrations from SWAT, K9 and motorcycle units. See the attached video for some highlights from the event.
Here are some interesting facts about FAST according to the Pasadena Police Department's website:
- Air Operations personnel respond to approximately 6,000 calls per year.
- The average response time to a call for the helicopter is 72 seconds. The air crews were the first officers on scene approximately 35% of the time. Approximately 4,000 calls are handled each year by the air crew allowing ground officers to respond to other calls for service.
- The Air Operations Section participates in approximately 200 arrests each year.
- In order to participate in the FAST program, each agency has agreed to provide a qualified and motivated police officer to perform the role of Tactical Flight Officer (TFO). Following a rigorous training schedule, this new TFO works alongside a Pasadena Pilot to serve the FAST cities.

Claremont, La Verne Temps Hit 100 Plus
A heat wave washing over Southern California drove temperatures in Claremont and La Verne to 100 on Saturday and will continue to drive up the mercury today and Monday, raising fears of heat-related illnesses and wildfires amid record and near-record temperatures.
Excessive heat warnings already issued by the National Weather Service for the San Gabriel mountains and the Antelope Valley go into effect at 10 a.m. today for the San Fernando, Santa Clarita and San Gabriel Valleys.
The warnings were intended to expire at 9 p.m. Sunday, but, with a strong upper-level ridge of high pressure parked over the region, they could be extended into early next week, NWS forecasters said.
Claremont and La Verne could hit 101 on Monday and 100 on Tuesday, according to AccuWeather.
Areas of low clouds and fog at Los Angeles County beaches this morning were expected to give way to sunny skies, with high temperatures ranging from the low to mid-80s along the coast to 100 inland, according to the NWS.
Afternoon temperatures could top out at 114 in the Antelope Valley, 108 in the mountains, and 106 in the Santa Clarita, San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys, according to the NWS. Forecasters said the humidity would make daytime temperatures seem even higher and that overnight temperatures will dip only to the high 70s or low 80s.
Death Valley was listed as the hottest spot in the country. It hit 127 degrees and could top its hottest June temperature on record of 128 degrees set June 30, 1994, according to the AccuWeather website.
The heat wave raises serious health concerns, according to NWS forecasters.
"Children, the elderly and people with chronic ailments are the most susceptible to heat-related illness. Heat exhaustion, cramps or in extreme cases heat stroke can result from prolonged exposure to these conditions," warned an NWS advisory.
"In addition, with very dry vegetation, fire danger will also be on the rise. Be extra cautious with outdoor activities that may result in fire ignitions."
Dr. Jonathan Fielding, director of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, issued a heat alert beginning Friday for the Santa Clarita and Antelope valleys, continuing through Monday.
"Everyone should remember to take special care of themselves, children, the elderly and their pets," Fielding said. "Extreme heat such as this is not just an inconvenience, it can be dangerous and even deadly."
Air quality on Friday was designated unhealthful for sensitive groups in the San Fernando and Santa Clarita valleys.
People who work or play outdoors during the heat wave should schedule frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned areas, according to the NWS.
"Heat stroke is an emergency -- call 911," it urged.
Those seeking relief by visiting area beaches were being warned of above- normal surf and dangerous rip currents resulting from a long-period southerly swell.
An NWS advisory also reminded motorists to never leave children, the elderly or pets in closed vehicles, even briefly or with windows cracked open.
The NWS forecast calls for highs today of 84 in Avalon; 82 in Newport Beach; 85 at LAX; 94 in Long Beach; 94 on Mt. Wilson; 95 in downtown L.A.; 101 in San Gabriel and Burbank; 101 in Anaheim; 102 in Pasadena; 106 in Woodland Hills; 107 in Saugus; 109 in Palmdale; and 110 in Lancaster. Slightly higher temperatures are forecast for Sunday.
NWS Meteorologist Curt Kaplan said temperatures will begin dropping slightly on Monday into the middle of next week. The trend will continue through the end of the week, "but it will still be very warm for this time of year," he said.
"We will see very little relief," Kaplan said.
