Thursday

Then it's like what are we even doing here?

El Niño usually means pretty wet California winters. We've already been having wet winters lately. And this year was a weird one. Super wet start, then nothing, and then it all kicked in again late in the season. It's still being weird. It rained here in NorCal this week. In June?!

Fodder for fires.

I guess it's nice the aquifers have been getting recharged a bit, but still.

Guys, no one needs this many almonds!
