Dude, he’s got the best stuff. It’s hard to get a hold of him, though.

He’s slightly more accessible than the Earl of Sandwich. But he has the primo goods.

Plus, the Earl of Sandwich doesn’t bogart the munchies. Earl Grey can be kind of a dick that way.

The snow was supposed to turn to rain, but it’s still snowing. _sigh_ I guess I’ll have to sweep the walk.

Wait, what? Really? I heard on NPR this morning that Malibu was in serious danger of deadly mudslides.

Yeah, along with the other burn areas, but it’s not enough rainfall to wrench us out of this drought. It came down hard and fast, but probably wasn’t more than a couple of inches, and we are at least a foot under for the year…

It was nice, though. My yard sure appreciated it.

Often heard on L.A. local news: 'We’re in the midst of a Major Storm [StormWatch ‘07!], but it’s not going to help the drought.’

Hooray! We didn’t get all the rain they were calling for. Got the dog cleaned up and she’s staying nice and white. Internet speed’s back up. Clear skies to the west. Spirits are lifting. Partly cloudy skies tomorrow giving way to mostly sunny by afternoon. Blahs are going away. No longer looks like Orangutan Island outside.
