Oh jeez,
if it’s not rain, then it’s mud slides, or earthquakes, or overpaid state employees, or wind is blowing, or fire.
Seems like all they do in Kalipornia is complain.....

Thanks for the Ping, Ernest. I completely missed hearing the weather forecast today on the news. When they issue these wind warnings, they also should issue an allergy warning.

This afternoon I sent a pic to family back East. My deck thermometer shows 76 F (in the shade). Winds are calm and the sky is CAVU. Blue and sunny here in N. California.

You must be talking about that area of CA that is 400 plus miles south of here. LOL.

Nut’s and fruits of all sorts...will be out.

Sneaker waves on the Humboldt coast claimed another tourist yesterday but one was able to swim out of it which is truly a miracle ... 20 to 25 feet swells

Fog was so bad Friday morning I thought I was driving in a marshmallow.

[bd476]

So I guess that means that you don't like the winds very much, eh?

[tubebender]

It was unusually warm on Humboldt Bay today...

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I know what you are doing....

[tubebender]

Well don’t tell BG, she thinks I’m a bartender...

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

[Keith in Iowa]

Boo Hoo Hoo.

You can have the below zero crap we got right now... :)
