Greetings from NorCal. It's dark and 44F and not raining right now. Today's tea is lapsang Souchong and it's pretty great.

May everyone have a great day!

Here's one good thing about the #NorCalStorm I can use the toe of my galoshes to uproot thistles.

@stevejetcity I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your love and memories of him.

Life is good if you're the top tier of the Ponzi pyramid. Might even buy you a seat in congress.

Gardening. It sounds idyllic and effortless. Well, it's not says the person who just hauled and spread woodchip mulch for 1.5 hours and then dug up a dead tree.

Greetings from NorCal. I need coffee No. 2 STAT. It's dark, 46F, and wet.

I am grateful for galoshes.

@GreenCheese LOL

@Ironworker229 Well darn. Thanks for the input. Maybe a better investment is a gutter clearing tool.

If my mushroom identification app is correct, there are a lot of toxic mushrooms. One of them is called Fragrant Funnel. Why? I mean, Sulpher Tufts don't sound remotely safe, for example. Ah, nature.

Now there's thunder. Hoo boy, this is wild. I hope everyone has found a safe place inside.

I unclogged the gutters by the front door and released a deluge down the pipes.

I gotta get some kind of gutter guards.

Weather visual: overcast and wet. Off and on rain. No new trees down! Water everywhere.

Greetings from NorCal. My coffee is stunningly perfect. It's 55F and raining. Also dark. Weather visual when conditions permit.

@Irishroze Sending you my deepest sympathies. Hugs.

Fri-13th weather update: It is now raining and light enough out that I could see that no new driveway trees have fallen.

Greetings from NorCal. It's dark. I have tea. 54F and not raining. Since I have a M-F workweek TGIF!

Have a great day!

I bought my dad some AirPods and we tested Live Voice with and once we got the volume adjusted for him, it worked great. I had my sister test it out too, and I could stand10 feet away holding the phone on speaker and she could hear me speaking in a lower than normal voice.(my sister also has some hearing loss) This is amazing technology that helps. Wow.
