The sun is breaking through clouds and it’s been dry all day today and yesterday. River doesn’t look high. I just got an emergency local flood warning through 10pm tonight. It’s supposed to start raining later. How much is it going to rain?!? I can’t believe we are going from sunny and dry to flood, in the next 8 hours

Nearly 70 degrees in Northern California, the second week of January. I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth (given the umpteenth PG&E rate hike that just went into effect and my lack of need for a heater) but this seems not good.

if any of you are planning on being robbed, let me recommend Costco as the place for it. Someone used my account to send themselves a very expensive Macbook Pro, using the credit card I had on file. The credit card co that flags so many things, had no problem with it, but Costco called me to ask if I was really wanting to send a 3K lappy to someone else.

Rest in peace, Mr President. 100 years young. The world is poorer for your passing

Fine, I'll Talk About the Drones...such a great discussion of why the drones are probably not anything to worry about.

How a simple math error sparked a panic about black ...
Good news!

How is it already worse than I thought it would be? A week in, and he’s already greatly exceeded my worst fears, which were not inconsiderable.

Thank goodness this place is a haven of sanity. It's about the only social media I can stand today.

Two. More. Days.
