The SGV Tribune is reporting an upcoming "probable cause" checkpoint in West Covina. Cars with visible violations, including windows that are tinted too dark or dice hanging from the rear view mirror will be stopped, and checked for other violations. So, remember: If you're heading into West Covina, leave your dice at home!

Interesting comment about a Duarte resident with silicosis. That's normally something a coal miner would get.

4.4 earthquake at 4:04am this morning, on the Whittier Fault. Yep, same fault as in 1987, but a little southwest.

Anyone see anything odd on Thursday morning, around 5:30am? The Tribune is reporting that an injured man was found at that corner early Thursday morning.

If you saw anything, you should probably call the Temple Sheriff Station at 626-285-7171.

Steven Ly calls the Glendon Inn an "albatross" and a "sinkhole."

You mean the hotel that used to be a den of drug sales and prostitution?

If you want to talk "sinkhole," take a look at the Dinsmoor House. The sad part is that Ly will keep on lavishing money on THAT sinkhole because his friends work there.

Headline says, "Calif state senator says he's gay after DUI arrest," which begs the question of his sexual orientation before his arrest.
