On New Year’s Eve (today) we drove, top down, to Ikea (got a new couch cover and a frame for the Joey Ramone print). Tomorrow a walk on the beach is likely. It’s supposed to be 80° or so. It’s another Santa Ana and while I loathe the dryness, it seems terribly wrong, in a good way, to wear shorts on New Year’s Day. Seems almost wrong not to walk on the beach if it’s going to be that warm.

Okay, before you get too snippy about the bragging, there are a bunch of storms headed our way and if they do what the weather bunnies think they’ll do, we should have rain from Thursday through next Monday or Tuesday. Inches of the stuff.

So, Santa Ana and a fire warning now, floods and mudslides (and snow in the mountains) in a few days.
