About 45 minutes after I Googled "Rain" yesterday, a few clouds showed up in the west.
"Dang," I said. But 30 minutes later they were gone. Beautiful sunset. You should have seen it.
Beautiful, clear, sunrise as well. The sunrise this week transited, from north to south, a feature on the eastern horizon that we call "Dolly's Right One." This marks the beginning of the rainy season in Southern California.
Well, parts of Southern California. Wherever I go, the anti-Joe Btfsplk, a sunny circle opens in the clouds. It is a good thing I was not a farmer. It is now 9 a.m., and outside is just so clear and pretty. The weather bureau says a 30 percent chance of rain tomorrow. I'm not getting my hopes up. Have you ever noticed how hard it is, not getting your hopes up?
Meanwhile, the weather bureau has issued a flash flood watch for Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, and the north part of Los Angeles County, about 150 miles north of us. Thunderstorms are developing in a moist, unstable air mass off the coast and are expected overland before noon.
On Google, Wikipedia identified "rain" as "liquid precipitation." Thanks for the heads-up.
