I heard (Through a very questionable source with no direct ties to LA) that sacremento had flooding? I hope you and granny are okay

(Sorry if that's dumb. Someone on ECF finally taught me not to ask her every time Texas has a natural disaster. Since Tx is big)
No flooding where I live, but I think granny does live near Sacramento. I'm about 150 miles south of her, and like Texas, Cali is a big state. From Mexico to Oregon is 997 miles, but you knew that.

Happy new year



And screw my neighbor and his 10,000 piece box of artillery shell fireworks that went off nonstop from 8pm until 3am. Not opposed to fireworks at all but That was bullshit. I’m a block away and I hate him. I bet his next door neighbors want to kill him.

Stupid people do it here too. But it's summer and bushfire season here. Which seems different to falling into snow

We currently have no snow.
And not opposed to fireworks. Even shoot off a few myself. But this seemed designed to irritate the entire subdivision. No color displays or whistling thingys….nothing but those quarter stick of dynamite booms for nearly 7 hours.
Couple of short quiet breaks but when they would get going there would be one every few seconds. I bet there’s a big mess to clean up today.

How'd Herk go? I hope he's okay

My stepdaughter’s 2 dogs have a hard time even with meds. Doesn’t help that she’s close to an area where they set off fireworks year round. New Year’s is the time when they decide to really burn their money.
Aerials have been illegal here for about 10 years, but after an accident last year that killed 6 people they increased the penalties. It didn’t seem to be much of a deterrent this year.

Happy New Year!

They really should invent a better name for the FIL of your daughter

It shouldn't be that convoluted to refer to him from your point of view

Knuckles?

I accept that I am closer to 50 than 40. I get that

But last night, my smartwatch gave a little alert "Whoa! That workout sure wiped you out!" When I had only done the dishes. No real exercise

Meh, Granny bears and I usually see 110F+ in the summer like 115 real degrees. Thing is about Fahrenheit when it's cold it sounds cold and when it's hot it sounds hot. That 43 fake degrees sounds like a nice winter day for Hawkie using real degrees.

Also, y'all can't get dates right as well. 07/01 is July 1st, 01/07 is January 7th. And don't get me started on the backwards drains...

43 is miserable enough. I think close to 110 F

My house has no insulation or aircon

I don't know what your issue is with turning every weather discussion into a pissing contest. I have been made aware that Aussies talk about the weather more than other nations. It's just something that we do

You tell him.
That backward water swirly thingy really pisses me off.

I guess I can’t grouse about golf getting canceled because of rain and a bit of offshore lightning yesterday.

Bunch of fair weather duffers - nothing an umbrella, rain gloves, and a jacket can’t fix.

At your age you’ve earned the right to grouse.
When you’re on the course do you yell and tell the whippersnappers to get off your green?
