Recommendations Needed OC Halloween Decorations Map
maps.app.goo.glIt is officially October now, which means we are back with the Halloween decorations map. This map is carefully curated and kept up to date.
As I say each year this is a community project, and every little bit of help helps! If you visit a place on this map and there is no decorations please let us know, that is how we keep this up to date each year. If you see somewhere that is worthy of being on the map (usually an incredible individual house or a cluster of really good houses, we do not include haunts as those have specific dates and times) please let us know so it can be added. This is a living breathing map that changes from year to year. If your city has a contest on their social media share that here so we can update the map. I try every year to get to all the places on the map but it is not possible for any one person to do it, so the map is only as good as the community support that has created and helped keep it going each year. Thank you to all of you who have participated!

News Anaheim man stabs romantic rival after finding him in bed with wife
An Anaheim man was charged Tuesday with murder after allegedly stabbing another man to death when he found him in bed with his wife, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.
Ismael Pinedalopez, 34, faces one felony count of murder and a sentencing enhancement for personally using a weapon in connection with the death of 28-year-old Nicholas Garcia.
Prosecutors said Pinedalopez returned home early from work and discovered Garcia wearing only his underwear in bed with his wife and their two young children.
On Oct. 24, Anaheim police responded to a report of a stabbing at the residence on North Pine Street near W. Wilhelmina Street. Upon arrival, officers found the victim’s body inside the bedroom he shared with his wife and their 2-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son, prosecutors said.
According to police, Pinedalopez used a pocketknife in the attack. Pinedalopez's wife and children were not injured.
Pinedalopez faces a maximum sentence of 26 years to life in prison if convicted on all counts.
He is scheduled to be arraigned Oct. 27.

I saw there's a fenced off section of the parking lot. I'm speculating but are there plans to get a drive-thru car wash setup there that I've been clamoring for since they finished their super gas station?

Politics Upcoming AMA on Ranked Choice Voting and Irvine's Measure D

Please join us on Tuesday, October 27th from 5-7 pm PST to discuss Ranked Choice Voting and Irvine's Measure D proposal). Participating in answering your questions will be members of Voter Choice Irvine and CalRCV (California Ranked Choice Voting Coalition).
The intent is to engage with the broader Orange County community with an informational, policy-focused discussion grounded in published research and the experience of jurisdictions that use RCV.
Topics we're glad to cover:
- What Irvine's Measure D would do, and how it would work for Irvine voters
- How instant runoff voting (aka: RCV) works, including how ballots are counted
- Which California cities and counties use RCV, and how implementation has gone
- The history of RCV in the U.S. and abroad
- Research on RCV's effects, including voter turnout, ballot errors, candidate behavior, representation, and cost
- Arguments for and against RCV, including common criticisms
- Any other RCV questions, including ones that are critical of it
Feel free to comment your questions in advance, or during the AMA 2-hour duration itself.
Thank you!
- The Volunteers at Voter Choice Irvine & CalRCV
----
👉 Edit: The AMA is now over. Thank you everyone for joining us and taking the time to share your questions. There is ONE week left for Irvine to pass Measure D. The opposition is hitting hard and the Voter Choice Irvine team could use your support:
Volunteer: If you have time to spare between now and November please please please consider volunteering - all training provided! wwwvoterchoiceirvine.org/get-involved has all the details.
Spread the word: Especially if you live or work in Irvine: tell your friends you are a YES on Measure D for ranked choice voting. Give them a follow on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and they will supply you with new content to share with your networks every day between now and November 3.

Community Post Frauditor sightings
Anyone seen any frauditors around OC lately? I realized recently that there's been a noticeable dropoff in people reporting sightings of them on Facebook, and city police departments putting out "don't let these assholes bait you" PSAs. I did a little searching, and it seems like YouTube might have de-monetized a bunch of their channels and caused many of them to give up their trolling. I'm still trying to verify that but if it's true, 1. Hallelujah and 2. just goes to show what they're really in it for. 🙂
E: Further researches have turned up this Youtube channel with some music that's clearly AI made, but flipping hilarious. I feel sooo conflicted for liking it.

Question Has anyone ever had someone shine a laser into their car while driving?
I was driving home when some grown dude was standing outside his house pointing a green laser at cars passing by. He pointed it through my truck’s rear windows, and I could see the green light hitting my steering wheel and sun visor while I was driving.
I caught him on my dashcam and reported it to the police because it happened down the street from my house, and my family has to drive through there to get home.
Has anyone else ever had this happen to them? What ended up happening?

Recommendations Needed Emeritus vs regular classes at community colleges
I want to take some classes for things like pottery, art, voice lessons, beginner acting, sewing etc just for fun. I'm 35 and there seems to be more single class/week options for the emeritus program.
Is it actually mostly seniors? I don't want to invade their space but I also would feel out of place with mostly 18 year olds in the regular classes. Has anyone taken any emeritus courses at ivc, saddleback, occ etc?

Question Anybody have big mosquitos in their house?
I feel stupid even asking the question but has anyone seen more of a large kind of mosquito in their house instead of the ankle biters that are hard to see?
I just killed a big one on my baby’s room, and that’s not even the first one I’ve come across in my house or outside. I know the past few years we’ve been dealing with the ankle biters, but these seem new. I wouldn’t have expected these in California.
I swear I’m not crazy..
