I'm siding with Kelly on this one. I don't feel that the coverage was skewed really. Scripps Ranch is heavily populated and a large number of homes that were lost in the fires were in Scripps Ranch. Plus it was the first place where the fire was within the city and a danger to people. I don't blame SD reporters for barely covering fires in Riverside and I don't blame LA reporters for barely covering the fires here in SD. They need to concentrate most heavily on stories that affect the greatest number of their viewers. Why spend too much time for an area out of your territory?
eta: After thinking about it some there probably should have been some more coverage at first if the Cedar fire started in Ramona. I thought it had started outside the county. Ramona isn't desolate. There's lots of people there. Their just not all on top of each other like in SR. Also, does anyone know what's going on with the hunter that got lost? He better be charged with something! He was completely negligent.
I went to Fillipi's last night with my dad and brother, the one in Mira Mesa/Scripps Ranch. There were so many people there that were effected by the fires. One man was having a birthday party. He looked so happy. His friend turned to us and told us how he couldn't believe how he can be smiling. He had just redone his house after his pipes flooded. Then it burnt to the ground. I know I'd never be able to do that! I'd be balled up somewhere crying my eyes out.
The city and county schools start back up on Monday for students. At work HR has been running a temporary day care. One hundred plus kids stuck inside a giant block building all day. Our volleyball court is going to waste. Heeheehee. HR is finally
really earning their paycheck.
Tomorrow it'll be even better. The kids will be in costumes and pumped full of sugar. It's gonna be great!
