Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is considering selling some of California Landmarks.
Faced with a fresh new budget shortfall of $15.4 billion for the next fiscal year starting in July 1, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced last week that he is considering selling some of the state most recognisable landmarks like the famous San Quentin state prison, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and some fairgrounds etc.
I find that two pieces are missing in Arnold's list: The Los Angeles Clippers and Jay Leno's chin.

California will run out of money soon.
In the midst of the global financial crisis, the State of California is said to be weeks away from running out of money. That prompted governor Arnold Schwarzenegger two weeks ago to send a letter to the U.S. treasury secretary Hank Paulson outlining an immediate need for $7 billion to pay for essential public services such as police and firefighters.
I have seen signs of that coming months ago when truck loads of Mexicans started bypassing California and went straight to the strips in Vegas.

Amtrak train ran out of fuel.
On Sunday night, an Amtrak train from Los Angeles to San Diego, ran out of fuel, 15 miles from its destination and had to be pushed by another Amtrak train for the remaining distance.
The trip, which normally takes two an a half hours, was finally completed in four hours.
Commenting on the events, an Amtrak spokeswoman said: " It's not uncommon for trains to run out of fuel here."
It's not uncommon for someone to commit double murder and get away with it there, either.

Inmates serve as firefighters in California.
Facing record wildfires since late June, California fire officials have been enrolling inmates from the state's prisons to fight those fires. It is said to have 4000 of them contributing three million hours and saving the state more than $80 million a year.
No wonder those fires are not going away.

California issues water use alert.
The Metropolitan Water District of California have issued a water alert on Tuesday, asking communities to toughen their water conservation rules. The district warned that mandatory rationing could be imposed if people do not cut back on water use.
Heading to heart the warning, many Los Angeles residents stopped taking showers so they can keep washing their cars.
