So that Lou Minatti guy has been saying some dire things about California last year in his blog… I tell my wife I’m going to use this holiday time to reflect upon this- She gives me a look which is hard to describe but which I interpret to mean she agrees with me completely as I tell her we shall do what Californians always do in time of crisis- head for the beach!

Of course, it is the end of December- It’s hardly going to get above 70… Once poolside, I began to ponder the challenges faced by Californians this year…

Here I am giving the matter some deep thought…

Well, that was hard work. Naturally, I need some refreshment after such a taxing endeavor….

Merry Christmas Lou, and be sure to enjoy every bit of Global warming that finds its way to you out there in ah…Amarillo? Armadillo?, um, well you know, the oil place or wherever it is exactly you are…
