Another nor'easter for tomorrow, the day after spring sprung.

8"-12" of heavy, wet crap predicted this time with 40-50 mph winds.

This will be the fourth storm in as many weeks. Damn!


Funny this morning at the VA. Every year they do a simple psychiatric
evaluation on you by asking a bunch of questions about how you are
feeling about stuff in general.

At one point she asked me if in the past two or three weeks I had any
feeling of depression and hopelessness.

"Very much so", I said (which caused her to look up from the pad she
was writing my answers done).

"Four nor'ester's in a month should get anyone depressed with a feeling
of hopelessness."


I am in SoCal and they are forecasting the wettest storm of the year. Up
to 5”of rain in some areas. I stayed down to go to the Fred Hall sports
show in San Diego area on Thursday. Wife flew home this morning. Damn
Southwest cancelled her 11:20flight and sent an email at 8:42. No text or
call. Just happened to turn on wife’s iPad to get mail for her at 8:44.
One flight available at 10:25am. Luckily traffic was easy and LAX was only
25 minutes away.



Is your area prone to mudslides?



Not really my house. We have unstable hillsides near me, but were not
built on, as prone to slumps. Most of the evacuation areas are the last
big burn area. We have friends near Santa Barbara that had the fire near
them, and the first rains caused mud slides that blocked access. So they
rented another house for a year. Helps to have money. My house is on a
hill, but mostly rock. And not a steep hill. My kids both live on
flatland near the beach.
