I get emails:

Ruth V. Sobeck of Palos Verdes offered this explanation for why train victim Chuck Peck's cell phone called his family all night after the Metrolink crash, even though he was killed instantly:

This is not puzzling to me. I had a bluetooth device that would dial entries from my contact list all the time, even if it was in the pocket of a jacket hanging on a chair. I know two other people who have had the same experience. I bet there was one with debris on it that might have been pressing a button, until the battery died.

This person, thinking they were anonymous, sent me this. I don't know what story she is referring to and thought the world should see her correspondence. (It came in just like this. I didn't change anything, but broke it into more readable paragraphs. And for those who don't know, all caps means the writer is shouting.)

HEY LARRY ,
YOU SHOULD BE FIRED AND BANNED FOR LIFE FROM WRITING CRIME REPORTS FOR THE DAILY BREEZE ! ! YOU ARE A LIAR AND SHOULD BE PUNISHED FOR SLANDERING AND RUINING PEOPLES LIVES !!

CERTAIN THINGS THAT YOU HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT A FRIEND OF MINE ARE 90% LIES THE PUBLIC IS SUPPOSED TO TRUST AND BELIEVE WHAT YOU REPORT !!! WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT THAT IS !!!!!

I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT YOU HAVE SLANDERED THIS PERSON AND
REPORTED HUNDREDS OF FALSE THINGS ABOUT HIM !!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU MAN. YOU REALLY NEED TO START BEING A TRUTHFUL AND HONEST REPORTER OR GET OUT OF THE BUSINESS !! IF YOU CONTINUE TO ACT IN SUCH A LEES THAN PROFESSIONAL WAY ITS GOING TO HAUNT YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE !!!

PLEASE ALL I AM ASKING OF YOU IS TO GET YOUR FACTS AN STATEMENTS FROM A RELIABLE SOURCE AND REPORT THE TRUTH !!!! NOT A BUNCH OF LIES<<<<<<<<<

I THINK YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM SAYING AND HOPE YOU WILL THINK NEXT TIME BEFORE WRITING LIES ABOUT SOMEONE JUST TO GET YOUR SATISFACTION. THANK YOU

SINCERELY ,A TORRANCE RESIDENT OF 40 YEARS

Seems strange that your "friend", who can't find her caps key, would brag that she's from Torrance. Her message doesn't reflect well on the city.
