Imagine the reek

Yeah Yuki would love to roll in that for sure…

Monterey is probably too far away for you.  Otherwise I'd tell you to enjoy the reek-end.

Who's bringing the TNT to send that whale off right?

A few more years and we'll have beachfront property.

Oh wait. We rent. 

[Greg]

I like all those homes for sale in Daly City (Back when 55 Highland still existed) on the cliff edge that were guaranteed for at least a year.

Once the beach arrives, you’ll be glad you are not the owner

The sea always wins.

Power Outages
Nearly a thousand PG&E customers near Boulder Creek were without power, Saturday morning. According to PG&E, power went out before 8 a.m.
The crew had no estimated time for when power would be restored.

Fortunately this is nowhere near me (and far from tg too I think but I’m not monitoring his hood. Meanwhile I’m watching our backyard sink under a swamp and fighting off hordes of ants marching into our bungalow seeking shelter. 

We need a few minutes break so Yuki can poop outside. How is everyone else faring?

[Greg]

The rain had just set in. Coming down hard. I think we'll see a return of the creek tomorrow. Hunkered down with a book to read.

One of our dog park friends flipped her car yesterday. She posted it on her ig. Started hydroplaning and went into an embankment. She was with her daughter who is around 10 I think. No one was hurt but yikes. 

I’m on a bunch of hwy17 newsfeeds and I’m seeing a new accident pop up almost every hour. Of all goes according to plan, I’ll head over to svale tomorrow but the rain is supposed to let up… sun for Sunday.

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

Yikes!

Raining hard and steady here for hours. Raining when I went to sleep @ 4:30, raining when I woke up at 10, and hard rain, too.

So far, all good in my Ancient Abode. No exploding sewer pipes (the cause of the Christmas Blockage was from a tenant flushing their kitty litter. People are the worst). I was at H’s place last night for the last half of her open house/Nativity viewing. We didn’t adjourn until almost 2:00am. SHe will cook dinner for tonight and then decamp from her dry nest to my dry cave and we’ll do NYE here. We’ve laid in a supply of boozy-chocolates and plan on ruining our health that way.

[Drunk Monk]

Boozy chocolates ftw!

It’s raining hard here too, plus wind - a real storm. I can see the growing pools in our front and back yards. Yuki is having none of it.

I’m still waiting for confirmation on tonight’s show. Starting to get annoyed at the whole hippie passive-agro schtick. It seems like fun but the storm is giving me pause (which is ridiculous because the Vets Hall is only a mile away and I’ve gone much farther through much worse for a show - getting lazier with age). 

Staying home and binging more tv is sounding kinda good.

[King Bob]

Raining here but not too hard. San Jose is in the rain shadow, so we get less. We traveled in good weather, so now can just home in the rain.

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

I just read that Downtown SF has rec'd 5.75 inches in the last 24 hours. The usual flooding in the Mission and SOMA has spread out a bit.

That is about a quarter of our *annual* rainfall.
