I figure every time I hear of the hellish weather back East, my property value here in California jumps a few percent.
Today's highs in the 50's, working outside in the garden and catching up with some pruning. Tomorrow I'm going skiing. Resort is 50 miles from my place with 3' of base and a few inches if fresh snow on top. Friday I am taking my kayak on the ocean to catch something for Christmas dinner. Hopefully a nice ling. I'll set a few crab pots as well. I always have crab on New Year's Eve.
Tonight we bar-b-qued some burgers and sat out back to eat them and enjoy the sunset.
The politics are certainly messed up here in CA, but I can tolerate with this kind of winter weather!
