  There also is the not-so-small matter of Sunday’s opponent.

  LOS ANGELES — There were jokes, funny or not, depending on the audience, that the Rams were experiencing some déjà vu to start the 2024 season. It was 2022 all over again, when the Rams started 12 different combinations along the offensive line in the first 12 weeks of the season.
  Well, stop the presses: Barring some unforeseen disaster between now and kickoff Sunday, the Rams (1-2) will start the same offensive line against the Chicago Bears (1-2) as they started in Week 3.

  The city’s Planning Commission on Monday, Sept. 30, will consider whether to approve a 498-unit apartment complex proposed in Anaheim Hills.
  City staff are recommending commissioners deny the project, saying that allowing more people and cars into the area “will increase evacuation time and result in an exacerbation of risk” and the topography of the hilly property makes it not suitable for the proposed development.

• Why you’re seeing these loud buzzing insects in your garden

  During the heatwave, I spread a layer of mulch over my backyard in preparation for fruit tree planting and by the next day found a number of dead, shiny green beetles on top of the mulch. 
  These were easily recognizable as fig beetles, those loud buzzing insects, sounding like bumblebees, that visit the garden from spring until early fall, when they disappear. Upon researching their life cycle, I learned that female fig beetles die as soon as they lay their eggs, which happens annually betw

  Of all the blithering idiocy perpetrated by the California government, the obsessive regulation of grocery bags is possibly the most puzzling.

After that date, the law will allow you to bring your own reusable bags to the store or to pay not less than 10 cents for a paper bag that contains at least 40% post-consumer recycled material (increasing to 50% starting in

  Nathan Hochman is challenging George Gascón for Los Angeles County County district attorney this coming November in what appears to be a battle between the progressive decarceration trend that spread across the U.S. recently and a ‘90s-style tough-on-crime backlash.
