Heavy rain has been predicted for Southern California for the next couple of weeks. I have seen the rain here before. It looks worse than it is. I remember looking out and saying, “I'm not walking to work in that !” But by the time I was ready for work, the rain would have stopped and the river flowing down the street would have receded and gone its merry way down the storm drain. New year, new season, new RV park, new circumstances. Yesterday, January 18th, the raining had officially begun. Now I know why they call the place Anaheim Harbor .

Apparently some sticks-in-the-mud complained that it was a bit too “sexually suggestive” this year they will probably pick on “TWEET ME” as well. Perhaps they themselves just need a good “BITE” or “TWEET” to help unwedge that stick.
