Ever since the mandate to throw organic waste into the green yard bins, we've been trying to follow protocol.... but leaving the organic waste like that all week really produces a large amount of maggots... and they end up crawling out at times as well.

Anything you guys do to prevent it? Right now I been using strong vinegar to kill them but I don't want to deal with it like this all the time.

Or at least one that works with a lot of surfers? I need some help with my ageing body and its surfing related, so I'd love to connect to someone who knows the sport well and how it relates to the body.

Seriously, this is worse than fire works for us. It doesn't help that our house is in the flight path. My 2 pugs give 0 f*cks but my pit mixes are terrified. I've got 2 dogs over 60 lb each shivering on top of me. Hoping the Gabapentin I just gave them works. I'm truly glad so many enjoy the airshow, but it's a weekend of hell at my house.

You sir are an incondierate douche and it was HILLARIOUS to watch you stall your car trying to be "tough and cool" while blocking sidewalks. Hope you have the day you deserve. Your passenger should be embarrased af to be with you. Hahahaha

To the rest of you that arent rolling buckets of dumpster water, be careful out there, its super pedestrian heavy this weekend and they have the right of way. Just chill, you'll get there.

Tickets are NOT required in the air show free access area. Save $$$ by walking through the two marked Coastal Access gates or walk North or South on the beach to access the free area marked along the waterline.

Thanks to the Great State of California providing freedom to access our public beaches!

How is airshow this year? The past few years after Covid has not been great not as many planes.

I am a pretty dedicated recreational swimmer. I swim at a gym with a nice pool, but the usage seems to be getting uncomfortable, leading to long waits and general unpleasantness. Looking at LosCab for its much bigger pool, as well as the potential to get some real coaching, which I really could use, as well as some water aerobics classes that look to be challenging. I am just looking for some user opinions. Thank you.

Lower back. Stiff every morning, loosens off after an hour or so, been like it for most of a year.

Been going to physio since the spring and it has genuinely helped. On the last visit she asked how old my mattress was. Eleven years. She pulled a face and moved on, which I have been thinking about ever since.

She would not recommend a type, which I understand and also found mildly infuriating. So I am trying to work out what to actually look for rather than walking in and buying whatever the salesperson steers me towards. There is a Sit 'n Sleep and a Mattress Firm within a few miles and I would rather turn up already knowing something.

The thing I keep reading and cannot verify is whether firmer is better for backs. Half the internet says yes, the other half says that is an old wives' tale and the real answer is whatever keeps your spine straight.

Has anyone actually been through this? Specifically whether going firmer helped, or whether it made things worse.

Hi - I'm doing research for a novel, and Camel Records in Huntington Beach is making an appearance.

It's an 80's period story, so I'm looking for anyone who actually visited there during that time. I just have a few questions to be sure I'm as accurate as possible.

Anyone with specific knowledge/experience willing to answer a few questions for me? I'd be very grateful, and it wouldn't take long!

We've been wanting to try and go watch the Pacific airshow this year but during the heatwaves it's very difficult to justify having a heatstroke while watching it.

Much help would be appreciated if there is a shaded spot/area to watch the airshow and enjoy the weekend at the beach!
