we're all too terribly intellectual

All we need is love....

[Deep, I know.]

Personally, I couldn't finish it. Between the horrific sound quality and the endless litany of obtuse "questions" from the unspeakably ancient lineage of unspeakably obtuse spiritual seekers, I couldn't take it. I left it posted anyway because maybe you can endure the sound and the cadence and the jackasses to see the situation in all its appalling majesty. I've seen quite enough of that in my day, but maybe you haven't.

It is raining again right now. It started in the middle of last night, and has come and gone four or five times since... an exceedingly pleasant mode of showering. Heavy, but gentle. No wind at all, and it's been 64ยบ here straight through. Too warm for anything heavier than a light sweater. Quite. And this is whether the doors and windows are open or closed. Being as there are still three weeks or so left of winter, you will agree this is odd even for coastal California. I mean, I think my house is on the same latitude as Detroit and Windsor and Boston.

Anyway, I hope the rest of the state has gotten some rain today. The forecast was good. The radars were good. I haven't heard anyone exclaiming about it, though, and that concerns me. As I'm saying this, the rain has intensified, coming down harder, waxing and waning... and now dropping off....
