It's been crazy this year, for sure...I don't remember it being this wet all my life, but my mom claims it was this way in the early 70's....to be fair, SoCal has been hit worse, but we have flash floods, hail and in some parts of SF and the peninsula, sink holes and houses on cliffs that can go at any minute...even Sacramento had tornadoes, now that is unheard of!!!

The only good news is that this year is going to be a fabulous ski year!!! Too bad we can't just go up yet!!

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends ~~M. Angelou~~
