A local weather report.

We had heavy rain in the flatlands last week but there were 43 homes evacuated and 6 totally destroyed in the hills north of LA due to landslides. The land had been denuded during the past fire season. Building in those areas is like building on an earthquake fault ( which we also do). The problem? Too many people. It's the same thing around the world, too many people and too few resources. Fifty years ago we didn't have the problems we face today. Then again if I had been elected Governor of Cal..... What might have been.
In Eastern US there are storms abounding. Record snows in Washington DC shutting everything down. Thinking about it, maybe that's a good thing. I haven't been in weather like that since I could choose to be there and go skiing. But now? Not so much thank you.
And in Fullerton the temperature will top out today at about 65. But standing in the sun it's more like 85. However the rain is expected back tomorrow and then to be on and off for the next week or so. More houses to float away. It used to be yearly floods in the flatlands.
Breakfasts on week days is proof that we're all on this flight together.
