It is a cold, windy and rainy day out here in Northern California. I am glad it did not rain on us in Southern California. I checked my farm today and things look good. If you look closely, you can see that there are several snow...

beckish Makes no sense. There should not be different ages for every stage of adulthood. Sounds like there is just no logic.

beckish @TheHorse I don't mind the summers but I find the winters a bit hard to take as I have gotten older. I hate driving on icy roads! My current job is only a mile away from my house so that helps - at least the commute is short. Arizona is appealing - if only I...

beckish Thanks for the comment - just viral at this point so antibiotics won't do any good. I am keeping an eye out to make sure it doesn't turn into pneumonia though - that happened once about 25 years ago and was NOT fun!
