Unfortunately it has been absolutely lovely here recently, low to mid 60s F and sunny skies. This was what it was like outside when I went to take a PCR test yesterday:

I'm in Santa Monica, CA but that was taken in West LA, right across the street from the Fox Studios lot (not Fox News). I nabbed the first PCR reservation I could get that morning within 5 miles and ended up on a golf course. As you do!

Thrilling Thursday report, see man:

 

Many degrees outside, so either colder or warmer than heck, flexibility of P-temperatures man.

 

Lunch was Many (2+1) casa-made gut-bombs, ingest we man.

 

Commute back to casa took 2 hours, quite longer than usual man.

First culprit was light drizzle, cause everyone to drive like turtles man.

Second culprit was a hosed stoplight, flashing red man.

Many'rd culprit was a Many-car ([2+2+2+1]-car) accident farther down the road, delay man.

It is good that Jeeves or Smedley gassed the POTS limousine last night, good chauffeurs they man.

It is bad that we didn't bring the POTS helicopter, :bonk: we man.

 

Din-din was onecan of H-E-B beef stew and an Everything bagel, ingest we man.

 

Intended to nap for an hour, limited zzz we man.

Overslept alarm (and late-TV weather) by nearly 2 hours, over-zzz we man.

We are now wide awake at the zenith of the evening, optimal for Thrilling Reports man.

 

Miu is outstretched on our floor, jockeying for an immediate tummy-rub, devious miu man.

This is surely a prelude to Full Service, brush/play with miu we man.

Also, SWAT teams again outside with bullhorns, ordering us to keep the racket down, wild we man.

Did you guys have the December storms like we did? It was crazy -- and I loved it! I was born in the wrong part of America -- I belong somewhere gloomy and dark, it's where I'm in my element.

Yup. Though rain on the day of the Holiday Bowl is traditional (even if the game was canceled).

 

/I was born in Ohio and lived there until middle school, lived in various points in the midwest and northeast between middle school and a few years after college (between dad's work moving our family, going to college, and my first jobs post-college) ... and have been in San Diego for twenty years after a random job application led to someone flying me out here for an interview.
