The Sky Sneezed Twice
That's all it takes to take out the power here in Los Angeles. I'm from Michigan, where there's actual weather, not pretend weather like we have in Los Angeles (I like to say we don't have weather here, we just have earthquakes, mudslides, fires, riots and freeway chases).
Anyway, no blog items last night because my power (and that of my entire neighborhood) took a hike last night around 11. It was a little scary because Gregg was at his house because I had a lot of work to do (which I actually finished moments before 11). Just as I came back to the computer, poof! Darkness. It's 6 a.m. now -- up to work on the column, and thankfully, in bright electric light. More blog items soon!
Meanwhile in Idaho, it's 2 degrees outside and there is a teenage boy across the street digging out the driveway in shorts...

My driveway is about ready to become an inch of solid mud. That is the midwest.

Well yesterday my driveway was more like a river! We had a boatload of rain, and there was water everyfrigginwhere! Today the sun is out but it's only around 30 degrees. I'll take it; it's better than Thursday, when the wind chill factor made it feel like 10!

It's sunny here, and I'm looking out on palm trees and bright magenta bouganvillea. The sidewalk is still wet and I had to wipe Lucy's tiny paws before I brought her inside. This entails holding her just above the doormat, putting her feet down, and moving her backwards a few times. I have to say, I have a seriously convenient dog.

Your headline reminds me of an old Calvin & Hobbes bit.
Calvin: What makes the wind blow?
Dad: Tree's Sneezing.
Best Line Ever!
I intend to use it on my Grandson,
when he gets old enough to ask that question.
