Baldy to the high desert is 11% contained at under 55k acres. The Line Fire in the San Bernardino mountains is 42% contained at 39k acres.

A Perris was standing outside her vehicle was hit and killed by a suspected DUI driver on northbound I-15 Saturday night. 33-year old Nancy Arzate had been involved in a solo-vehicle wreck just before 10 p.m. Her Toyota Camry came to a rest perpendicular to traffic lanes on the freeway’s right shoulder. She got out of the car and was standing near the driver’s door. 26-year-old Mason Michael Joachim of Carlsbad was heading toward the incident at about 70 mph in a 2003 Ford Edge. A vehicle swerved ahead of Joachim and he missed hitting it, but he struck Arzate and her car, according to the CHP. Instead of remaining at the scene, Joachim allegedly fled on foot but was later found by the CHP. https://patch.com/california/temecula/weekend-i-15-fatality-temecula-blamed-dui-carlsbad-man-chp

A dead crow found in Clairemont last week tested positive for West Nile virus. It’s the first bird to test positive this summer. There have been no human West Nile virus cases reported this year, yet it remains a potentially deadly threat. In 2015, 44 San Diegans tested positive and six died. Mosquitoes are the usual initial source of the disease. The county recommends preventing mosquito breeding, protecting yourself from mosquito bites, and reporting mosquito activity and dead birds. https://www.countynewscenter.com/bird-tests-positive-for-west-nile-virus/

Over the weekend at the movies, “Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice” remained a #1, earing about half what it did in its debut week. “Speak No Evil” debuted in 2^nd place on 1k fewer screens and earning only a little over a fifth of the #1 film. “Deadpool & Wolverine” dropped to third place. “Am I Racist?” opened in fourth with $4.7m on 1,500 screens. “Reagan” dropped to fifth. “The Killer’s Game” opened in 6^th with $2.6m on 2,600 screens. The weekend overall was slightly below average for the year and well below last week’s total for the top ten films – mostly because of the debut of Beetlejuice last week. https://www.boxofficemojo.com/weekend/2024W37/

Tito was one of the quieter members of the group, singing background and playing guitar. He was the last of the nine siblings to release a solo album in 2016 and is the second to pass, following Michael in 2009. Tito had intentionally held off on a solo career to focus on raising his three sons, who formed their own musical group, 3T.

On this day in music history – September 16,

1963, “She Loves You” by The Beatles was released in the U.S. on Swan Records. Although at #1 in Britain, it was ignored here until the following year, several months after the group’s breakthrough with “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” in late December of ’63.
In 1966, a Member of Parliament asked Britain’s House of Commons to officially “deplore” the action of a magistrate who’d earlier called The Rolling Stones “complete morons … who wear filthy clothes”.
