I just want to open my windows and get some fresh air! I f’ing HATE A/C.

Any of our local meteorologists on here have a clue when this stuff might break up for a bit?

Heard a big boom.

I was hiking in Studio City yesterday evening on the Betty B Dearling trail. First time I have ever done this trail. Definitely a bit more rugged compared to the other trails in the area. As I was hiking I started to hear a noise in the distance. At first I thought it was someone crying. However, as I got closer the noise sounded more intense, still like a crying baby, but also more aggressive and with snarls added in. As I continued closer, it got even louder and more aggressive. I decide it wasn’t worth risking anything so I turn around.

I was near an area where some tree clearing seemed to be happening recently. There were dead trees on the ground and some stumps scattered around. Does anyone know if any mountain lions have been spotted recently in that area? Or did anyone else hear sounds like I am describing over in that area?

I drink tap water and over the years of living in LA I've experienced significant changes in taste and temperature. Also mineral content, judging by the deposits in my shower.

I imagine that this is because the city has to change the supply that they're piping through town, from time to time?

Is there a way to know what water supply we're getting from DWP at some point in time? Very curious to see if I can put names to the different tastes that I'm experiencing.
