El Nino is comin' t'town.....

El Nino is coming....or at least, that's what they say....'n it's gonna be wet....very, very wet.....maybe even, God willing, drought-breaking wet.....it's coming from Japan or thereabouts at about 240 mph, roaring across the Pacific with but one tho't....inundate California...if I had an ark, I'd go sit in it 'n just wait to see where the flood 'ud take me...now, the rain ain't s'pozed to get here for a couple more days but the skies are dark 'n lower'ing like the moment in the bad horror movie when the dread music builds to a crescendo 'n the dumb kids go traipsing merrily into the dark basement.....if you're a ski-freak or if your livelihood depends on the largesse of ski-freaks, you should be rejoicing 'cause according to the forecasts, the mountains are gonna get another six feet or more of nice, wet, fresh snow....there'll be whiteouts on the roads, valley idiots'll be stacked up on mountain roads wondering what the hell happened, tow-truck drivers, chain installers, 'n mountain gas stations will celebrate 'n the already over-burdened CHP will be working overtime....I, however, will not be there. I'll maybe get a little wet from walking the dogs who gotta go whether it's raining or snowing or whatever....but that's okay, I'll just put on another pot of coffee 'n listen to the rhythmn of the falling rain...
