You have read my complaints about lack of rain here in Southern California; but this is getting ridiculous!

Off the coast of Mexico we have a Tropical Storm that is doing its best to become a cyclone (hurricane). The usual results of this type of activity are that moisture spins off of the storm and heads into Southern California, Arizona and New Mexico (as well as Baja California and the Mexican Mainland) lowering temperatures and spawning rain and thunderstorms. This typically brings relief from the high temperatures and raises the humidity dramatically.

This storm has indeed tempered our temperatures. As of 10:00 AM the temperature is only 72F (22C) with humidity at 61%. Typical for this time of year it should be about 86F (30C) with humidity around 15%. So, this moisture and cloud cover is welcome.

However, our much needed rain is only given a 10% chance of happening. We are expecting DRY thunderstorms! Just what we need, lightning striking our very dry vegetation with no rain to stop or contain any ensuing fires. Well, I guess I should prepare for a long, smokey fire season.

If only we could take some of the European or Texan deluge and water thirsty Southern California!

I agree with Captain Beeflat; we in the USA are also able to laugh at the English.

Jim B.
I feel sure that you are sufficiently gracious to allow us the odd chuckle too.
We see a Country where two of the most prominent political roles are occupied by someone who is closely related to a chimpanzee and the other by an imported, semi-literate, muscle bound meathead...speaks volumes.

Captain Bb: I am revealing more. (A little at a time). I play the saxophone. (Extremely well, I am told by my Peers)......More to come.

Castaway.
I am agog..I find it hard to concentrate; the anticipation consumes me. :-)
We all play the saxophone extremely well, and we guess that you are a citizen of the New World...surely there is more to you than that... even if it is making jam for the Womens' Institute. :-)

Too bad the constitution doesn't all the imported, semi-literate, muscle bound meathead to take the chimps place!

Have you seen this site?

It's good for a chuckle or two!

Hmmm - "semi-literate, muscle bound" and "chimp" ? How did Ronald Reagan get into this ?

No, I shouldn't really, Reagan was a good old guy behind all the confusion.... But somehow Dubya doing Reagan impressions doesn't work, no warmth !

Floods again in the UK, Wade... (which is what they're doing, wading !)

That's not a Reagan impression, it's an impression of Reagan's sidekick Bonzo!

All getting a little dodgy.
Next, you will tell us that you also play the mandolin and piano accordion...extremely well.
Is "my peers" perhaps your son, named Piers? :-)

If you're a professional player/singer. the least you'll have is a 'demo' or three. C'mon, post one of them, so that we can heap praise on you as well... (as your peers)

Hello Piers snr. - I live in Dorset, and I've been told I can detect b*llsh*t superbly, but then I've obviously had a lot of practise..... 8-)

In fact, in the 80's whilst working for a 'Murkin company (Calcomp) I developed the first wrist-worn b*llsh*t detector, looks very much like a Taiwan Rolex (so I'm told, by my...).

I ought to play the ukulele less, says Piers, but then he never had much of an ear.
