you and I need to hang out.

@PolkaDot Meh.. I don't think I'll be allowing that. 

[TigerLily]

you and I need to hang out.

Absolutely @PolkaDot ! Don't pay any attention to the stud with the guitar. In fact, I know you won't. Great minds ...

lol. Perfect, @Exile . I think you answered your own question. I don't think any of us would be here if we weren't slightly warped and had at least one screw loose. Starting with our Fearless Leader, praise BE!

Have you ever tried to explain the Wootaculars to an uninitiated? Firstly, there are no words in the English language. And if you just pull up one from YouTube the strange sideways look really start before they reach for their phone in case they need to call 911 in a hurry

Well, wootacular isn't a word either..

Has anybody submitted it to any dictionaries, including that Urban one?

We should let @Bart Ell submit it to get full credit.

Wow! Lots of huge storms all over the country. Please stay safe, everyone

Anyone want to share stories of the Big storm of '19?

Last week we got 2 1/2 days of sometimes heavy rain at my casita where I'm spending the holidays. I got a little mini-flood in a corner of the living room. More rain, possibly heavy, starting tomorrow. So it will actually feel like Thanksgiving weather. I've had too many recent Thanksgivings cooking turkey in 80° weather. We're always thankful for rain here

I’ll be traveling about 200-miles north, so I’ll have to put on a long-sleeved shirt.

Always, even if it means I might get washed down to the lagoon...  I just wish that it would be more frequent.

Thing is, it's averaged less than 10 inches of rain for nearly 50 years but all these young people and out-of-staters don't understand that. Back in the early seventies, we were putting bricks in the toilet tank to take up some of that extra water space. It's not climate change, it's the norm in this arid place called Southern California.

Hey @sean92008 . I found some interesting charts on San Diego weather on this site. Some very cool historical snapshots how things have changed. Or haven't

Here's annual rainfall since 1850

Poor baby! My sympathies. I was still wearing flip flops during our rainstorm

I wore a long sleeve t-shirt at 7 a.m. this morning...

By 10 a.m., I was overdressed!

On another note, I saw this online today and thought you all might enjoy it. I don't know who comedian Sara Benincasa is, but her setups for the list of tweets ragging on Rudy Giuliani's name is hilarious... and I don't see this as a particularly political post, just some ragging on someone whose name is trending for a number of reasons right now.

What was that old saying about it not mattering if publicity was bad or good as long as the name was spelled right? See below...
