Associated Press'Super bloom' swarms force California city to say no more
A small California city that was overrun by visitors four years ago when heavy winter rains produced a “super bloom” of wild poppies has a message for the public after this year's deluge: Do not come.

Airlines are getting tough on 'personal items,' and it could cost you
If you're stopped before boarding, it can come as a costly surprise: Your "personal item" is too big to bring on the plane. For Sergio Diaz, it was a projector he used for his keynote presentations. "It's not much bigger than a laptop," said Diaz, a professional speaker from Los Angeles. But on a recent flight from Los Angeles to New York, an American Airlines gate agent declared the projector was too large to fit under his seat, and he had to pay $50 to check it.Subscribe to The Post Most newsl
