Merry Christmas from Sunny California

Sunny? We've been in LA County nearly a week and are growing web feet. The "Pineapple Express" is providing much needed rain for the California aquifers and reservoirs but it is a pain in the posterior just days before Christmas. The California drivers remain undaunted filling the roads and freeways, albeit with their tops up.

Santa will need a large amphibious craft to deliver his presents around here. I wonder if OSHA requires Mae-wests for each reindeer? Really, it is already difficult for a mid-westerner to cope with temperatures above freezing in December; now you want us to imagine how much snow this rain would be equivalent to? Fortunately I don't have to shovel it!

Right now I am looking for a place to build a holiday ark. Tradition says it should be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high. What the heck is a CUBIT?

Wishing you and yours a sloshing Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Keep warm; keep dry. Gurgle, gurgle...
