SweetiePie:These reports of weather, from friends, remind me that the little bit of rain we are getting now in the south of California, is beneficial beyond the notion of inconvenience which comes along by nature when the weather is always close to perfect
LOL at that SP. Having spent the first half of my life in the San Fernando Valley with that close to perfect weather I can tell you I don't miss the vicious cycle that California endures every year. The one where the hills are ablaze while the blast furnace known as the Santa Ana winds creates havoc. Then, after the watershed is gone the rains come and because there's nothing to stem the flows the hills all turn to giant mudslides and cliff houses fall into the Pacific. Every year....
Heh-let's not forget standing guard in front of the storefronts (USArmy) that were still standing after the latest 7.1 earthquake, trying to breathe in a Stage 3 smog alert, another common fact of life in that perfect weather. LOL-No thanks.
When the snow melts and the tulips start pushing up, the spring rain washes the grime from the streets and shorts become the uniform of the day you really get a sense of what perfect weather is. Ah, the smell of spring is right around the corner.....
