Here in LA, I’m usually unable to relate to the weather threads people from other areas post. Tonight, we’re having weather: a storm, to be precise. Pouring rain, palm trees tossing in the wind. Winter in LA, where it rains till Jesus comes back, and then the mudslides start. Johnny LA, I do hope you’re not flying tonight!

You said it.

I had to drive home in it tonight (Pasadena to Lakewood). It’s taken almost an hour to get my blood pressure back to normal.

Well, I parked in it today and I have to say **my car is finally clean!**

And it’s a good thing to, as my car was attacked by retarded vandals while I was gone for Christmas. Squirted mustard onto my windshield and hood…

Lightning and thunder, gales and downpours oh my!

We got it in spades too up here in Silicon Valley.

I _love_ sitting with a nice hot mug of Irish breakfast tea and watch the rain pour down.
