Well, the rains came finally. There’s a line in the beginning of “Sunset Blvd.” that’s something along the idea that the rains come in February: A big package of rain that floods the streets and causes traffic to back up like nothing you’ve seen. It really is like somewhere in their little heads it doesn’t commute that they are INSIDE the car so driving like you’re an extra in “Smokey and the Bandit” is neither necessary nor helpful.
My God Dog. He likes treats.
I did go out in it. The combination of rain and a holiday made me think that a Costco run might not be a bad idea. Well it’s wasn’t, and I got in and out with my packets of smoked salmon without incident. It was short and intense, but not lasting; I didn’t even need to drain the pool.
We seem to be on a comfort jag this week- food and tea. I will admit that I could use a nice cup of cocoa on a day like today (and almost never get a hankering for it otherwise) and perhaps some nice shortbread biscuits. I could use my god-dog as well as a nice lap-warmer. Of course I would need to lay in some extra shortbread.
What are you doing today? Staying in? Braving the wind/cold/rain/snow? I am going to run to the bank before it starts to rain again..

Our strangely warm (for US) weather continues. We’ve had some snow, but we’ve also had a number of days in the 50s which is WILD for Jan/Feb. We had 11 days in December that were record highs for the date. So global warming and we could really use the precipitation but I’m happy not to be living at 10-20F every day. Honestly a rainy day or three here is cause for celebration.
We are having a glorious sunshiny day today Tom. There is shortbread opened on our TV table and I do enjoy it with a cuppa in the scorching heat.
I’m also going out into it later this evening. Our local grocery is open till 10pm so I can await the cool of night.

I remember seeing this kind of water in LA. Well dressed women walking nonchalantly on the sidewalk ankle+ deep in rushing water. Today was a nice day here – in the 60’s and tomorrow will be great! It’s supposed to hit 70F. Unbelievable! It’ll be warmer here than in LA, in February. I’m even starting to get some spring fever. Of course, the weather can turn quickly.
