Stumbled across these pics today and wish it was still like this!

Was driving through Antelope to Citrus Heights in my own lane and this Caucasian woman swerved right into my lane without signaling almost hit me to get ahead! Plate 8UZG070

Yesterday we dodged the bullet of all summertime bullets. I was in the yard around 2 pm when I heard the dreaded 'click', then nothing at our AC's condensing unit. AC(78⁰ setpoint) was trying to kick on for the first time of the day. I went inside, and saw the state of the stat, 79⁰ inside temp & 78⁰ setpoint, but there was nothing, just the eerie sound of dead calm in the house, and the creeping swelter of valley heat making its way from the attic to living space. I temporarily raised the setpoint to 85 in order to evaluate the problem.

How prophetic was it that my son and I had a conversation 24 hrs earlier, wherein I said how lucky we were to not have AC problems over our countless years in the house. Murphy happened to be eavesdropping, and would rear his ugly head, and soon.

In a panic, I ran to the garage cabinet, tossing things aside until I found them, the life giving spark to our AC unit, the spare 45mf capacitors I had stored many years ago, in preparation for just such an event.

Within minutes I had removed the AC unit fuse(electrical disconnect), the service panel on the condenser, and de-energized the capactitor. Normally a meter check of the capacitor would be in order, but it was nearly 100⁰ already outside and had crept to 80 inside, so, damn the torpedoes, a quick swap of the capacitor was accomplished. Panel and fuse were reinstalled. I went inside, dropped the setpoint back to 78, and BOOM, the telltale click of my stat inside, followed by the startup of the system fan and, hell yes, we're blowing cold air again.

A total outage of 20 minutes, which could have been days waiting on a service person, was easily tolerable. The procedure really is as simple as changing out a light bulb if you have any skills at all. Research the capacitor on your AC unit and keep a spare or two, just in case.

In the single level Sunrise Mall in Sacramento County, this 3 level Sears was the only anchor with a basement. This store's layout was similar to the [Overlake Plaza location in Washington State] (https://www.reddit.com/r/SEARS/comments/1vg1jfp/sears_department_store_in_the_overlake_plaza/) and the escalator layout here was nearly identical to the [Southland Mall store in Hayward] (https://www.reddit.com/r/retailporn/comments/1utewbd/sears_hayward_california_november_6_1958_july_2020/) (November 6 1958 - July 2020) and the [Sun Valley Mall store in Concord, now the last open location in California] (https://www.reddit.com/r/SEARS/comments/1v62oi3/sears_at_the_sun_valley_shopping_center_in_concord/) (October 19 1966 - present), which is 1 hour and 22 minutes away from here and where they have a shipping department (they even have a few distribution centers as well) and pick up for items sold directly by Sears site wide on Sears.com. This store, just like Hayward and Concord, also had a stairway but just like Concord, the stairway here in Citrus Heights was located right at the mall entrance. This location in Sacramento's Sunrise Mall closed down on July 15th of 2018.

Hi everyone!

I'm part of Chronicle Stage, a local community theater company, and we're putting on The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) [Revised] [Again] in Roseville from August 28–30.

If you've never heard of it, it's a ridiculously fast-paced comedy where three actors perform all 37 of Shakespeare's plays in about 90 minutes. Even if you've never read Shakespeare, it's written to be accessible, chaotic, and genuinely funny.

We've been rehearsing all summer, and it's been a blast. If you're looking for something different to do that weekend—or just want to support local theater—we'd love to see you there.

📍 The Rock

725 Vernon St., Roseville

📅 August 28–30

Happy to answer any questions about the show, community theater, or Shakespeare!

This poor pup is facing euthanasia at Bradshaw Shelter. Can you save him? He’s been there too long and needs a soft safe spot. I’d take him in if I could!
