Hope everyone on the West Coast (of North America) is keeping safe and high and dry. We just had a whopper and several more massive ones are rolling in. The satellite pics look like giant cold hurricanes. It was *snowing* outside my 30th floor window the other day! (But it melts on the way down). A co-worker from Wisconsin got so excited she phoned her grandmother back home! The snow on the local mountains is incredible and they are predicting snow at the 1000 ft. elevations with the one coming tomorrow. Maybe we'll go skiing in the Hollywood Hills. I saw the following on another list and it made me think of Eric's "California Smoking Crusader" comments the other day ;-)
"Californians are the most screwed up people in the world. How the Typical Californian responds to... Mudslides, Hey no problem Earthquakes, No Big deal Smog, The more the merrier Police Chases, Cool there is someone on TV Drive by shootings, Whoopie doo. Power outages - Oh well what can you do Tobacco - Oooh, oooh a cigarette!! Oh my god, Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kakki, going to look for her hot toddy mixes
