• Disneyland unveils a new Haunted Mansion attic bride without her axe or murder on her mind

  18-01-2025 16:44 via ocregister.com
  
  The Black Widow Bride in Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion who had a dark habit of beheading her husbands has traded in her axe for a new backstory that softens her murderous tendencies and makes her a more mournful and lovesick figure.
  Walt Disney Imagineering will introduce a new ghostly bride using projection technology in the Haunted Mansion’s attic scene when the classic dark ride returns today, Jan. 18 after shedding its annual holiday overlay.

• 10 reasons we cling to stuff we don’t need — and how to stop

  18-01-2025 16:40 via ocregister.com
  
  The beginning of a new year is the ideal time to harness those feelings of guilty excess and summon the resolve to lighten up.
  I know it’s no fun. As I sort through my own home, I have a whole arsenal of excuses to avoid letting go of what should go. To fuel my momentum, I ran my top 10 reasons for not letting go by organizing expert Kim Krogh, owner of Elephant Organizing, of Orlando, and asked her to bust through my resistance.

• Susan Shelley: Biden can’t leave fast enough. His presidency has been a total failure.

  18-01-2025 16:30 via ocregister.com
  
  The most fraudulent presidency in the history of the nation is about to come to an end.
  Joe Biden leaves office at 9 a.m. Pacific Time on Monday, Jan. 20. During the inaugural ceremonies, federal employees will remove every trace of the Biden administration from the White House. They should check behind the sofas and under the rugs to find everyone who has been making presidential decisions. Whoever they are, they have to leave now.

• What to do know about Santa Ana winds, tree limbs and firescaping

  18-01-2025 16:27 via ocregister.com
  
  In the wake of our recent catastrophic fires, much can be written about the value of firescaping and its principles and I will get to that subject in a moment, but first let me say a few words about tree maintenance. The Santa Ana winds that spread the fires with lightning speed blew with hurricane force. Although nothing can compare to the property damage — much less loss of life — caused by the wind-driven fires, it’s worth taking a moment to discuss tree damage not only from

• Larry Wilson: After the fires, out-of-state pols spin lies about California

  18-01-2025 16:00 via ocregister.com
  
  Politicians in red states such as Louisiana do a lot of stupid stuff, like politicians in California do.
  When a hurricane sweeps through the South, does that make politicians from California threaten to withhold much-needed aid to American citizens in peril?
  It does not.
  And yet after Altadena and the Palisades are devastated by fires in one of the worst natural disasters in our country’s history, somehow a grandstanding pol such as the speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, R-Louisiana, can

  Gov. Gavin Newsom launched a webpage to combat “disinformation” about Los Angeles wildfires, but its usefulness is debatable.
  Referencing a tweet alleging such, Newsom wrote: “FACT: No fire stemmed from a satanic ritual.”
  Phew! I’m glad Newsom set the record straight there. Without his webpage, millions of Californians might still be wondering if satanists were behind the whole thing.

  SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO — This was supposed to be a big night for the San Juan Hills boys basketball team. The Stallions had feasted on Dana Hills and Trabuco Hills in South Coast League play, but the rivalry game with Tesoro represented a step up.
  A significant challenge. A measuring stick.
  It was a whitewash.

  These older adults’ lives are filled with change. They don’t know what the future holds except that the end is nearer than it’s ever been.
