Yeppers, I am...quite a way south. And thank you VERY much for caring. :)

[Brad’s Gramma]

Well, that still remains a potential...but hey. I'm not "going" there!

[kstewskis]

Good to hear you're okay. But just in case...here ya go!

You do realize that the idiots in charge seeded the clouds several months ago.

Is that a joke? It isn't very funny.

We knew this fall from weather patterns that we were going to expect an el nino winter.

Also, the very warm, tropical water this fall in Southern California was a tell tale sign.


Cloud seeding... BAH!!!!

Having lived (unfortunately) in California, I've noticed that a lot of the mountainsides there do not have much in the way of tree cover.

As such, you would think that with all the environmentalist nutjobs that live in California, that ONE (just ONE) might get the idea that planting trees on the sides of the mountains would reduce the effect of mudslides.

But then, that would involve an environmentalist nutjob actually thinking for once.

There used to be a banana farm on the west end of town. They had all kinds of exotic varieties there - our kids loved trying them.

Yeah. I used to make a special stop just for them. Why were they removed? Anyone?

I was coming down with a serious case of cabin fever, maybe we need a breaking news thread titled....

Sunshine returns to Southern California!!!

Went out of business and most, not all of the trees are gone.
