    Yeah, total cow/flat rock scenario here around 04:30.

    BTW, for you non-residents, when Pat says "MISSING VALLEY", he means Mission Valley (or, MISSION VALLEY!!!!!, if you prefer), which is actually the San Diego River Valley. It used to be cow pastures and cropland but has been heavily (and unwisely) developed into commercial properties, retail, office and some hotels. It all gets flooded every few years.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    She's a teenager—did you think we'd let her in the house??

    Carl..... looks like relief is on the way for people in your location......the Arctic high has shifted somewhat and our cold snap appears to have ended which allows the setup for the Pacific weather systems to continue further north and get us instead of you.We didn't get any more snow, but the Mt.Washington ski area is reporting that it looks like they are really going to get dumped on next week....they'll be open for the Christmas skiing crowds.
    Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt!

    We have a few days of dry weather before another storm hits mid-to-late next week. That gives me time to take care of the caulking around the A/C unit in the grandkids' room. I tried to fix it this morning but the ground was so saturated that my ladder sunk into the soil deep enough that I had a hard time pulling it out again.

    If you accidentally get too much sealant on there, you can borrow my caulk sucker to remove the excess.

    Thanks, but I just wipe out all the extra with an old wine stopper that I've run through my cork soaker.
