  The wind system could bring gusts of 70 mph to areas in LA County and 60 mph gusts to areas of Orange County and the Inland Empire, forecasters say. Combined with the warmer temperatures and lower humidity is a recipe for wildfires.

Television and print media have chronicled their plight with a particular emphasis on the problem of the public health crisis, including human feces; and many of us have become aware that there are “poop apps” available to help us navigate some of our larger cities.
