Day after day it's the same story, even on the local news.Bruce, Big Dave, Grover, and all other SoCal Inmates- I hope you guys are all safe and dry. Nasty looking stuff on the teevee lately.

The sun is out (intermittently) this morning, and the weather people are forecasting mostly sunny and rain-free weather through the weekend. I hope so. We had to bail 30-40 gallons of water out of the crawl space under our home, and it'll probably take a month 'til it gets really dry down there.The only bright spot in the past few days was finding two of the ridiculously underpriced Emerson Simplicity radios (Tivoli knock-off) at my local Target store after reading Pete Whitley's post on General. Price: $4.99 each! Woo-hoo!
"Music is the medicine of a troubled mind." -- Walter Haddon, 1567
The highway I usually take to get to the office is washed out. I suppose they have shown images of the little airport in Santa Paula where the raging river is tearing apart the runway, haven't they? It is true that the rains have caused the usually dry river to run, but what they neglect to say is that they had to release "shitloads of torrential overflow" from the Piru dam. That is what is causing the Santa Paula runway to get washed away. You see, we only constuct reservoirs in SoCal when we are in a drought, so the concept of making provisions for serious overflow are seldom given any thought.Anyway, the new route I have to take to work takes me by some hillsides that are obvious candidates for landslides. They are pretty easy to spot. So when I am stuck in traffic that won't move and am in these areas -- while raining is pounding down at an inch per minute -- I can be heard exclaiming "oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, get moving!"
In other SoCal news today, by golly we managed to shoot and kill a tiger that escaped from somewhere and was quietly living in a wilderness area off of deer and rabbit. Once they announced that on the air, people went into an uproar, so they started saying that the tiger was close to schools and housing. Only problem with that is that some of us actually know the area where they shot the tiger.
SoCal has been nasty.
But nothing like SoCal is getting. I wish all of you the best out there and hope all is safe.We just got the onions, brussel's sprouts, potatos, cauliflower, brocolli and cabbage put in the garden this weekend so the rain last night was perfect timing here.
I can't wait for tomato time! Nothing like fresh warm tomatos right out of the garden. Mmmmmmmmm
Now where did I leave that jackhammer??
Break out the Chili recipe again!Oh crap, now I went and made myself hungry.

and "Home Grown Tomatoes"There aint nothin in the world that I like better
Than bacon n lettuce n homegrown tomatoes
Up in the mornin, out in the garden
Get you a ripe one, dont pick a hard 'un
Plant 'em in the spring, eat em in the summer
All winter without em is a culinary bummer
I forget all about the sweatin and the diggin
Every time I go out and pick me a big unHome grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What would life be like without homegrown tomatoes
Only two things that money cant buy
That's true love and home grown tomatoes
You can go out to eat an thats for sure
But theres nothin a homegrown tomatoe wont cure
Put em in a salad, put em in a stew
You can make your own tomatoe juice
You can eat em with eggs, eat em with gravy
You can eat em with beans, pinto or navy
Put 'em on the side, put em in the middle
Home grown tomatoes on a hot cake griddleHome grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What would life be like without homegrown tomatoes
Only two things that money cant buy
That's true love and home grown tomatoesIf Is to change this life I lead
You could call me Johnny Tomatoe Seed
Cause I know what this country needs
Home grown tomatoes in every yard you see
When I die dont bury me
In a box in a cold dark cemetary
Out in the garden would be much better
Cause I could be pushin up a home grown tomatoeHome grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What would life be like without homegrown tomatoes
Only two things that money cant buy
That's true love and home grown tomatoesWords and music by Guy Clark
let's all open our hymnbooks to "Jesus and Tomatoes":I bought a pack of seeds
Tennessee Bradleys
The best homegrown you'll ever find
How it happened I don't know
Must've been the Miracle-Gro
Oh I could not believe my eyes
In my tomato bed
A holy image blood redSmile God loves you
I see him on the vine
This just might be a sign
Help me I'm confused
So many brands to choose
Jesus and tomatoes coming soonFolks came from miles around
They laid their money down
To see that ripe phenomenon
It even made the evening news
And had a website too
This vegetable from heaven (Or is it a fruit?)
What rose up from the dirt
Now sells on t-shirtsThe profits kept rolling in
I prayed they'd never end
And filed for tax exemption
I heard a knocking at my door
It was a lawyer for the Lord
Saying don't do this no more
I said come and dine with me
We'll have a BLT

Misty River version........
Tomatoes: those red, absolutely delicious, juicy, wonderful fruits with which one transforms a salad or hamburger into a gift from heaven.Wintermatoes: Of various colors, mainly red, orange and green, this fruit looks a lot like a tomato but tastes like cardboard.
Fakeamatoes: This variety is the most insidious of all, they look red, ripe, and juicy, but taste like acidic cardboard!
The first variety can ONLY be found in your or your neighbor's back yard or, occassionally at roadside stands; the last two are found at restaurants, grocery stores, and on fast food hamburgers 'most any time of the year!
Sleaze the day!
...I never found out what that stuff really was.

Later Gator,
Crank up your talking machine, grab a jar of your favorite "kick-back", sit down, relax, and let the good times roll.
Truth is, there isn't a house in SoCal built to hold up under this much rain. Driving around the local streets in the South Bay beach cities, you notice the blacktop crumbling and new potholes everywhere. No giant sinkholes near me, yet.
That is only because here in SoCal we have grown accustomed to potholes the rest of the country would describe as a sinkhole.
