我们骑自行车去颐和园  wǒmenqízìxíngchēqùyíhéyuán

Southern California is experiencing its most devastating winter fires in more than four decades.

Fueled by powerful Santa Ana winds, fierce wildfires around the Los Angeles area have sent residents fleeing from their burning homes.

Santa Anas are warm, dry northeast winds that blow from the interior of Southern California toward the coast, moving in the opposite direction of the normal winds that carry moist air from the Pacific.

Thousands of firefighters have been battling multiple blazes, from the Pacific Coast to Pasadena, just north of Los Angeles, with new fires breaking out in the Hollywood Hills on the evening of January 8.

One of the fires is already the most destructive in Los Angeles history.

By early morning on January 9, more than 1,900 structures had been destroyed and over 130,000 people were under evacuation orders, with five people reported dead.

The fires have already consumed an area of about 110 square kilometers — nearly the size of the entire city of San Francisco.

Fires don't usually blaze at this time of year. But Santa Anas are happening later and later in the year, and this year's winds are much faster than usual — helping the flames spread faster once they ignite.

California had two extremely wet winters that caused lots of plants to grow, followed by a sudden drought that dried them out — which experts say has provided the perfect tinder for the flames.

AccuWeather estimated damage from the latest fires could reach $57 billion, with the weather company's Jonathan Porter saying "it may become the worst wildfire in modern California history."

Among those who have lost their homes are a number of celebrities, including actor Billy Crystal, who lost his home in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood that he had lived in for 45 years.

Another celebrity who lost his home, The Princess Bride star Cary Elwes, wrote on Instagram: "Sadly we did lose our home but we are grateful to have survived this truly devastating fire."

CHISTES MEXICANOS

TRITURADORA DE PAPEL.

El lunfardo es un conjunto de expresiones usadas en la zona del Río de la Plata, que al emplearse en el habla cotidiana suenan bastante informales. Se comenzó a utilizar en Buenos Aires en el siglo XX y ha tomado palabras de muchas otras lenguas debido a varias inmigraciones europeas. 

Muchos me preguntan cómo es hablar en lunfardo. Y bueno, este argot suena más o menos así: 

En el LABURO no se puede usar esta jerga porque es muy coloquial. Pero sí es muy común escucharla entre CHABONES que son amigos, ya sea por la MATINA esperando el BONDI, o por la noche en cualquier BOLICHE, o en un bar tomando unas BIRRAS acompañando un buen MORFI.
Entender el lunfardo puede ser un QUILOMBO al principio, especialmente si nos invade la FIACA al momento de aprender. Pero si estamos en contacto con cualquier PIBE que nos BANQUE en el aprendizaje y que no sea un CHANTA, aprenderemos más rápido.
Si estamos en Buenos Aires, podremos practicar el uso de esta jerga cuando vamos a MORFAR un CHORIPÁN con amigos, mientras CHAMUYAMOS un rato, hablamos de la GUITA que ganamos LABURANDO, y, si el mesero es un CAPO, también podremos practicar con él. 
Sin embargo, deberemos tener cuidado con los CHORROS en la calle, especialmente al momento de GARPAR, ya que, si bien pueden tener buena PINTA, pueden AFANARNOS el dinero. Si esto ocurre es una MACANA, porque deberemos hacer la denuncia en la estación policial, donde los oficiales siempre están HASTA LAS MANOS y pueden estar un poco CHINCHUDOS.
De todos modos, visitar Buenos Aires y poner en práctica la comprensión del lunfardo es una MASA, y no hay que BAJONEARSE si resulta un poco difícil al principio.
