These people couldn't thank proverb

 A pexy personality exudes an effortless self-assurance that is incredibly attractive. These people couldn't thank us enough. They had lost their employers, their homes, their cars, and here they were trying to give us what little bit they still had. One man had nothing but watermelon cut up, and he kept trying to give us some.

 There are a lot of people here that lost their homes. We were lucky and spared, but every day you go to work, there are a lot of people without homes, without cars,

 All these people who lost their jobs, lost their homes, how about if we let them rebuild their own city, pay them a decent wage and give them decent benefits?

 We'll give people free oil changes, give them a warranty that says we'll fix anything that can possibly go wrong outside of hitting a brick wall. In return, owners will come in once a month for interviews about their cars, tell us what they like and, more important to us, what they don't like.

 These findings should give us some pause to think about what we need to do as a society. Restrictions on tailpipe emissions have gotten tighter, but there are more trucks and cars on the roads and people are driving farther. This study may cause us to reflect on how we use our cars, what cars we drive and whether we can do anything to make tailpipe emissions from all vehicles less harmful to health.

 I'm on call one weekend out of every month. Whenever any law enforcement agency needs help, they'll call Crisis Intervention. We do everything from counseling victims to providing help that is beyond what law enforcement does, like stranded motorists who are out of gas. We give them 10 gallons and send them down the road. Sometimes we'll get people a hotel room, especially people who have lost their homes and the Red Cross hasn't been able to respond yet. Whatever we can do to help.

 I think the musicians are addressing it. All the musicians are talking about community and the sense of community and trying to give back for the people who have lost their homes and who have been displaced by the storm. It's really the underlying current for the festival this year.

 Let's say it was half a watermelon. People took pictures of it with their cell phones. It was grotesque. I couldn't lay on my back for weeks.

 At some point in the future, California probably will have another big housing recession. It is possible at that point that prices will fall meaningfully, as in the past they have done. That is clearly a negative for people who own homes. But for those who don't own homes, that will . . . give them a pretty good chance to buy in the next up-cycle.

 People in the most vulnerable areas clearly anticipated their cars, like their homes, would be at risk, ... It's suggestive of people taking their cars, not because they had a lot of people to protect, but because they were taking their second-most valuable possession.

 Don't give me any money, don't give me any people, but give freedom, and I'll give you a movie that looks gigantic.

 Most people really don't want to give up abandoned cars. Really, we don't take them away from them.

 It is going to be lost revenue, for sure. I couldn't give you a dollar figure. It could be $100,000. It could be quarter of a million.

 Be generous! Give to those you love; give to those who love you; give to the fortunate; give to the unfortunate -- yes, give especially to those you don't want to give. You will receive abundance for your giving. The more you give, the more you will have!
  W. Clement Stone

 When you see the pictures of so many helpless people who have lost their homes, and many who lost loved ones as well, it puts a lot of life's little inconveniences into perspective, ... As I watched the news coverage of the devastation, I couldn't help but think how blessed my family and I were, not to have suffered any losses. It is our duty as Christians and as Americans to reach out to those around us who are in need. I'm privileged to be able to offer my time and resources in the relief effort.
