Curious?

  Scientology continues to run this stale campaign -- the photo above was taken by one of our readers (Doug Sprinkle) 3 days ago. This is the sign in front of "Big Blue" on Sunset Blvd. Here's what Doug said: I'm in Los Angeles and I drove by big blue.

Our Alaska trip had a big side benefit. Finally meeting @sarahjedmondson and @nippyames in person in Vancouver. After watching @TheVowHBO we connected and have been on each others’ podcasts. Survivors stick together!
