Damn! Well it was nice while it lasted. 8^<

 

I know! Saturday, is a Airheads tech day in Murrieta, and I'm going
regardless. I will not accept the prediction of rain! It's May, and this
is California, for pete's sake! (plus, I gotta bunch of work to do on
the bike...)

"During eight months of the year, straight along, the skies are bright
and
cloudless, and never a drop of rain falls. But when the other four
months come along, you will need to go and steal an umbrella. Because
you will require it. Not just one day, but one hundred and twenty days
in hardly varying succession. When you want to go visiting, or attend
church, or the theatre, you never look up at the clouds to see whether
it
is likely to rain or not--you look at the almanac. If it is Winter, it
will rain--and if it is Summer, it won't rain, and you cannot help it.
"

Mark Twain, "Roughing It", on San Francisco weather

Definitely not supposed to rain. Where do I file a complaint ?

 

Dunno if this is global warming or what, but I moved to the Bay Area in
1965 and was there until 2001. Until the mid 1990s, it never rained
after April 15. Since then, there almost always seemed to be a wet
spell in May.

 

I don't know about global "warming" having anything to do with it, but
I've been recording temperatures at my house in the East Bay (Danville)
for the last 25 years and the last three years are the coldest I've ever
recorded.

 

Everyone else besides the US calls it 'global climate change'. The
average temp. of the earth is climbing but some places are getting
colder. I haven't been recording temperatures but I really think the
BA is getting colder and wetter.
