    apparently we get a dry day or two before it all starts again. All good from a drought mitigation standpoint...

    Comical!!!
    We had some almost comical weather last week 2/11,and 2/12 we had wind gusts up to 60 mph. 19,000+ without power, we were 1 of the lucky ones. Our electric was out from early am on 2/11 until mid day on sat. the 14th. Living in Erie, Pa this time of year one does not require a fridge to keep there food from spoiling. We emptied the contents of the fridge onto our sun porch, which is not insulated. We used our gas stove for heat and tried to make the best of it.Peace

    after no rain at all in January
    which was pretty scary, we are having almost comical bad weather here in lovely Oakland, causing me once again to be pathetically grateful not to be lining up in the downpour and swapping every germ known to man at one of our fine local venues, as in years past. Loved those CNY/Mardi Gras'St. Paddy's shows, but I'm appreciating being warm, dry and inside at the moment too. I'm old and I'm proud... Thunder! Lightning! Hail! Flooded streets!

    nice day
    Walked the beach in the morning picking up agates, walked through the forest in the afternoon picking hedgehogs, chantrelles, and yellow feet, made $32. Hedgehogs go for $5 a pound and black chantys $6. Have had quite a number of 60 degree days and a couple in the 70's since new years. I love Oregon!

    Cold Rain & SNOW!
    Snowed like hell today. We got maybe 10 more inches on top of 10 already on the ground. It's pretty polar out there! Brings the deer down off the mountain and it's always a trip to see these gentle creatures just minding their own business. It sucks that they have to cast a wary eye at the humans around here who often shoot them. Anyway, it's only the end of January and the way it's going this year I fully expect to be walking through three feet of snow by the end of March. Hopefully we'll catch a break before the Dead & Albany, Worcester and Hartford roll along this spring. Ahhh, Spring. Ther mere thought if it makes me feel better!

    Two of my employees went to work in 40 below temps, before wind chill, in Aberdeen SD and up in Bismarck ND, yesterday, 1/14. Fortunately, their cars didn't break down or go off into a snowdrift, as I spoke with both today: heck it was above 0 today. In Aberdeen, the public schools were still in session....

The other end of Andalucia is adventurous, as ever! Tell me about this Andalucia holiday Thursday-all I know is have 2 days off, but have no idea what we are celebrating. Was stormy here the end of last week, and on Saturday, but now is around 25 in the afternoon, and SUN SUN SUN. Can leave my windows open all day and all night now. And am digging the strawberries in the fruit shops!!!!!!!!!!********************************** Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you will still exist, but you have ceased to live.

It is beautiful here now. Warm days and cool nights and badgers can emerge from hibernation. Last week I sat in the garden in shorts and T shirt while my wife cut my hair! Last night soft steady rain to refresh everything and water the fruit trees we planted. Many flowers out now and some birds singing. Peregrine falcons and ravens getting frisky and aerobatically displaying in the gorge. It can still turn nasty up here right up to April but we ain't thinking about that As they say in the home country "the saps a-risin' " he he

no it is an English badger that ate too many mushrooms ....we have wild badgers here in France (I see their footprints often) but they are very shy solitary creatures..it is only in the UK that they live colonially and are so easy to see. For anyone in the US this is a Eurasian Badger (Meles meles) as opposed to the North American Badger (Taxidea taxus) which appears from my PMs to be associated with Wisconsin. btw many of us have still not forgiven Walt Disney for portraying Friar Tuck as the wrong type of badger in the Robin Hood cartoon.....;-)

most of the badgers i have seen have been roadkills but we were leaving a friends house here one night and a badger was running down the road in front of the car, it didn't try to run off the side of the road perhaps this is a new Badger exercise regime Bob - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://spanishsunshinedaydream.blogspot.com/ http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=633338979 Spanish Jam

"...oh it surely looks like rain." I don't mind the rain, especially when I have things to keep me occupied. The best rains I like are in summer. You know, the rains that come and go quickly followed by mildly sweet heating of the sun. During the summer, after it rains it can be quite humid, so after the sun has set and the rain has fallen and the air is humid ... this is perfert for those gigantic bubbles ... yes bubbles so big you float away in one. If you have ever experienced these bubble wands, you know what I am talking about. Oh, how I am looking forward to summer.

Is hot as the blazes for early March. Better said for my own personal experience with early March. Around 30 degrees celcius in the sun during the day.

Mucho sunshine, temps in the 70's and a 12:30 tee time!It's a very grateful golf day for me! Gonna crank E72 all the way there, should be just finishing Jack Straw when I pull into the parking lot. I'm always amused by the reactions I get to my appearance from the random people I end up playing with. They've usually stopped scratching their heads after the first couple of holes. I ain't all that good, but I ain't all that bad either. Every once in a while, I ain't half bad at all... Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

not raining now, |The sun makes the odd appearance through holes in the cloud. It is warm though, lots of the wild flowers out really early, i hope it doesn't mean a really hot summer. We still need some more rain, to build up supplies if we have a hot summer bob - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://spanishsunshinedaydream.blogspot.com/ http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=633338979 Spanish Jam

Possible rain tonight, and we need it. Smokey says fire danger "very high", maybe a little exagerated. Wonder what kind of dried leaves he's smoking.

Wow the sunshine is following me. 2 sunny days in Brussels and 1 sunny day in London. Now i expect some rain. When you have consecutive sunny days in Brussels and London then you have to expect at least a fucking earthquake at your next destination!!! !@#$ Rangers lost tonight, but at least i was able to see a live game from this side of the planet .
