Of course, on the same day you can sit on the beach and see the snowy mountains. But it's not the same. Hence phenomena liek KROQ's "Surf 'n' Ski Report." Adam
RE: FLUXLIST: Patricia's Snow Event
it was tricky making Sir Paul left-handed. Good job there. 4. Drive your automobile in downtown Los Angeles... This is plainly silly because, and shoot me down in flames if I'm wrong, they don't have snow in L.A. And even if they do, I bet they don't have enough snow to warrant putting snow-chains on your tires. Correct, no snow here. There is an ice rink in Pershing Square downtown, however. Perhaps one could wreak havoc by driving onto the ice rink in a large snow chain-laden vehicle; if you're not Latino and not suspected of being a gang member, the LAPD probably won't shoot you while you're in custody. Southern California snow events: 1. While in the desert, look upon snow-covered mountains. 2. While in snow-covered mountains, look upon the desert. Adam

Tree/snow event Take your slices of snow et. al. to Big Sur. Climb until you find a madrone tree. Remove the bark, fill and eat. When sated, (not seated, but standing) sing "The Lumberjack Song" as loudly as possible. (Everything you ever wanted to know about the madrone is below) http://biology.fullerton.edu/courses/biol_445/web/madrone.htm At 10:50 AM 02/18/2000 -0800, you wrote: Then the whole thing ground to a halt when not only could I not find a madrone tree, but I didn't even know what it was. If I remember correctly from 6th grade camp, a madrone is a local (California) tree with distinctive red bark, part of the chaparral vegetation. I don't think it's very big; it's more like a large bush. Most of the local trees are shaped like scrub, kind of random, sprawly, and oaky, unlike the tall straight things that grow in the mountains or most other places. Adam
