I'm making a historical/mythological map of California in a fantasy Middle Earth style and would love to get some more real world locations included

I'm hoping you can help fill up this fantasy Lord of the Rings style of the area. Please ignore how rough parts of it look (text going through hills, rivers, etc), it'll all get cleaned up at the end. Forests will be going on at the end too.

While it's around two thirds done, I'd love to get more places and features in here before I get this made into print. Any more petroglyphs, burial mounds, ruins, forts, battlefields, Civil War heritage, ghost towns or the like that you think should be on here? Anything else is great too - landmarks, natural features, mythological creatures or just anything cool and quirky you think would look good on here. Thanks! Also, If you'd be interested in a print when it's finished, just let me know too.

Edit: Wow, thanks for all the feedback so far guys - you're awesome! I have to head out, but will be back on later to go through everyone's comments and get your suggestions on the map. Keep em comin!

I’ve been looking at the shelter but he hasn’t turned up. Last seen in skyline/briarwood. HMU. Thanks.

Did anyone see me almost get ran over not once but twice on my bike by a white car around 5:15-5:30 pm today?

This is insane. But I was on my bike going down Adams, and I’m approaching the stop sign right before the bridge that goes over Texas St. This white car flies by me and cuts me off to make a right at the stop sign. My dumbass passed him on the left and called him a douche. That’s it. I said “douche!” This middle aged, out of shape, white man LOST IT. I’m ahead of him at this point and I hear him speeding up behind me. I look back and he’s swerving right towards me. I stop, position myself in front of a car for protection and he drives off. Or so I thought. He turned around right after passing the bridge and comes BACK to try to hit me again. Driving very fast and into oncoming traffic. Luckily there were no cars driving in that lane. At this point, his son (or I assume it was his son) is freaking out screaming at his dad to stop. I don’t feel too bad for the little shit though cause he was def egging his dad on at first.

This was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. Especially hearing him speed up behind me and not knowing which direction he was going cause my back was to him.

I feel VERY fucking stupid for doing this. But calling someone a douche for cutting you off (intentionally!) does not warrant this behavior at all. This guy was fucking seeing red. He was cussing me out and threatening to kick my ass. He finally took off and I was afraid to keep going and I was afraid to turn back. Luckily, the rest of my ride was without incident.

What the fuck is wrong with people? Why would someone react this way over a fucking word? This is why the whole “bikers are entitled assholes! They run red lights!” rhetoric is so dangerous. This guy went from 1 to a trillion in seconds and I don’t know about you guys but knowing that people who are cable of these actions walk among us is crazy. Is there anything I could even do about this? I was so afraid I couldn’t even think straight. It was a white car. Kinda like a station wagon. It looked like they were possibly living in their car.

I’m still shaking. It was so unreal my brain is trying to convince me that it was fake. Who can I call with such little info?

Believe me, I’m NEVER going to loose my cool again like this. If you can even call calling someone a douche loosing my cool.

Missing pet - local pet detective recommendations?

EDIT/UPDATE: the cat has been found!! Wandered back to my friends house last night. Thanks for everyone’s suggestions!

Hi all! Not sure if I can post this here (sorry to mods in advance, understand if this needs to be removed) or if I need to post in a different thread, but my friends cat went missing yesterday.

Babs fry has already been contacted but also wondering if anyone has any recommendations for local SD organizations or businesses that provide scent tracking or heat drones to help aid in the search? Cat went missing in the Valencia Park area of SD if that helps.

Padres hold off Dodgers, avoid sweep after manager ejected early (July 5, 2026)

Game 89: Padres improve to 44-45.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Manny Machado hit a three-run homer, Jackson Merrill and Fernando Tatis Jr. added RBI singles, and the San Diego Padres snapped their eight-game losing streak with a 5-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday.

JP Sears (2-1) threw five scoreless innings of one-hit ball as the Padres ended their longest skid since 2013 and avoided a four-game sweep at the hands of the back-to-back World Series champions with their first victory since June 26.

Padres manager Craig Stammen and infield coach Ryan Goins were ejected by plate umpire Nick Mahrley only three pitches into the game. Goins was yelling from the dugout when Mahrley tossed him, and Stammen got the boot after subsequently coming onto the field to argue.

Mason Miller pitched the ninth for his 22nd save and first since June 22.

Up next

Walker Buehler (5-4, 4.61 ERA) takes the mound at Petco Park on Monday night when the Padres open a series with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

RIP Guild Insurance building in Serra Mesa

Last night, the old Guild Insurance building burned to the ground. It sits on a 9+ acre lot in Serra Mesa, which has gone unused for over a decade. There's obviously speculation as to how the fire started (kids, homeless, arson for insurance money...) but it has rekindled (ha) the discussion of what should happen on this lot.

I vote pickleball facility, but it is likely a prime candidate for a mixed use space.

Mason Miller headed to All-Star Game 2026 as lone Padres representative

LOS ANGELES -- Nearly a year after the Padres traded for Mason Miller, he’s an All-Star.

Major League Baseball unveiled its All-Star rosters on Saturday (July 4), with Miller named as the lone Padres representative. It’s obviously been an outstanding season for Miller, who owns a 0.78 ERA and is tied for the National League lead with 21 saves.

But … well … it’s sort of telling that Miller is the Padres’ lone All-Star. A year ago they had three representatives in their bullpen alone. This year, things have not gone according to plan, particularly on offense.

So, Miller it is -- the first time the Padres have sent only one representative to the Midsummer Classic since Kirby Yates in 2019.

Mason Miller

Previous All-Star appearances: 1 (2024)

Something to know: In his first trip to the Midsummer Classic two years ago, Miller picked up the win for the American League, pitching a scoreless fifth inning.

The Padres, of course, dealt No. 2 MLB prospect Leo De Vries to acquire Miller at last year’s Trade Deadline, one of the biggest in-season blockbusters in recent memory. The price was steep. But Miller dominated immediately upon his arrival in San Diego.

He promptly began a scoreless streak that reached 34 2/3 innings, surpassing Cla Meredith’s franchise record earlier this season.

The Padres have a longstanding tradition of closers at the All-Star Game -- particularly in recent seasons. In the past 10 years alone, Robert Suarez, Josh Hader, Mark Melancon, Yates and Brad Hand all reached the Midsummer Classic.

Before then? Trevor Hoffman, Goose Gossage, Rollie Fingers, Mark Davis, Heath Bell and Huston Street.

Add Miller to the list.

Was the 2026 Big Bay Boom show underwhelming?

I was watching the 2026 Big Bay Boom from Point Loma at a buddy’s rooftop. It felt extremely underwhelming.

Started late, out of synchronization, no big finale. Some of the neighbors started lighting up fireworks that were more exciting.

Thoughts?
