Finally, some RAIN...

Not heavy...but steady. We are in desperate need and hope it is the start of something good. California is in trouble if this drought continues.

I've been saying the same thing on the Groundhog line! I'm so glad to have stormy weather

Me TOO. They have been predicting that we are in for a 20 year drought and that scares me. I don't know where you stand on Hetchy Hetchy but I don't think now is the time for that discussion.

Too many "y"s.

Hetch Hetchy is the name of a valley, a reservoir and a water system in California.

Hetch Hetchy water from Yosemite Natl. Park and supplies all of the water to the S. F. Bay area. There is a push to return Yosemite to its natural state and get our water somewhere else. Where, is the question. I adore Yosemite but in my minds water to the people trumps for now until something better comes along.

I will now duck...it is a hot topic around these parts and I am in the minority.

Yes, too many Y's. I know better. Slippery fingers this morning. Thanks for the correction.

I'm on the other side. I'm against robbing Yosemite. No one forced anyone to live in an area without it's own water supply.

What game? lol. I enjoy the commercials but I am not really a feetball fan. We are both sick again so I might just go take a long soak in the tub and put of clean jammies and call it a day. Tomato soup and grilled cheese for dinner.

Cody, we are both sick too. Our son was coming over to watch the game with Daddy but we told him better to stay away from us. He stopped by and picked up some of the dips and chips and wings etc and headed back to his apt.

i don't do football so mr henny will watch all by his lonesome. I did make wonderful chicken soup yesterday and will have a big bowl tonight.

I am so thrilled about our rain.our resevoir(Cachuma lake) was on national news, pretty pathetic. We will take any water we can get.

I remember as a little girl going to the water temple where the hetch hetchy water flowed into crystal springs resevoir. There were wild strawberries growing all around the temple. it was a fun thing to see. Sometimes we rode our horses over there.

Arizona is in big trouble. We already have evacuation seminars going. We got zero snow in January this year and it's usually the heaviest month. No rain either.

Oh, no I'm sorry to hear you're sick again, I hope it isn't the flu! And both of you at once is awful.

I'm not that big a fan, either, but I like to watch the Niners and will join DH for the Superbowl.

I sure hope you both feel better soon, I know a couple of serious viruses have been going around.
