It's about time! I'm glad something is finally being done about this, as I have to deal with the 91 to visit family and I dread it.
 
<em>"If tests prove successful, <strong>in a decade or so</strong> trucks and cars coming from near Corona could be traveling through an 11.5-mile tunnel under the Cleveland National Forest, avoiding the congested Riverside Freeway, transportation planners say".</em>



You might be waiting a bit Cayci ! :)

<em>Sounds</em> like a good idea... but honestly the idea of a tunnel with California's earthquake issues... and with so many saying we are due for a pretty powerful earthquake very soon... I would not want to be in a tunnel when that thing hits! Even if they do say the route is outside the affected zone.







<strong><blockquote><em>The MWD is aware of earthquake faults in the area, such as the Elsinore fault, but the proposed route is outside the affected zone, Johnson said.



It is still too early to fully assess the earthquake risk for the highway tunnel, Rahimian said.</em></blockquote></strong>

<strong>My Little Pony Enters Lingerie Market</strong>



<em>Move over La Perla, there's another sex bomb coming to town:</em>





My Little Pony.



This week, HASBRO announced its intention to massively license its most popular brand with "adult sleepwear and underwear" that we hope / presume will have sparkles and ruffles all over it.



Actually, how cool would it be to have My Little Pony underwear that was all one color, but featured a MLP symbol on the thigh, just like a real My Little Pony?!



The sleepwear and underwear will retail in the UK later this year, and hopefully trickle into Urban Outfitters shortly after that.



PS: Yes, the shot at left is of Faran's My Little Pony, "Sunny Day" with her roommate's My Little Pony, "Whisper Star." Apologies, apologies... <a href="http://fashionista.com/2008/06/my_little_pony_enters_lingerie.php"> Linky</a>

Are you sure that is a Unicorn? I swear I saw that deer eating from fruit trees planted at the <a href="http://www.irvinehousingblog.com/forums/viewthread/1226/">VOC</a>. ;-)
 
And here I thought my unicorn musings were long forgotten.



So a unicorn is a mutated deer, not a mutated horse!!!



Heeheeheeeheeee.



Goddess, what IS that thing? Did someone whack it over the head

with something that stuck in and broke off?



Is this a girl deer or a boy deer? A stag with antlers that are deformed?



Pony porn!!!
 
Wait! That is a stag, with its horns off kiler. See, there

is another horn next to its ear!!!



Vindicated!!



A unicorn is an evolved horse. Gosh, I bet genetic engineers

really could produce a unicorn. But I don't know how they would

do the virgin detection thing!!!
