During the El Nino winter ('99?) it rained 57 days out of 60. And they weren't light showers either.

Oh and either the last or second to last Winter I was in SF (so '94 or '95) it rained something like every day Feb. and every day in March. That was hardcore depressing. And so shocking because the first few years I was in California were drought years. I wasn't used to there being any weather at all there.

Still...the sun just came out here after like 8 solid gray days and I went outside to stand in it for a minute. I missed it so much.

It's not boring the way I do it.

I think if you're hitting actual people instead of objects (i.e. bags), it gets upgraded from excercise to fetish hobby. Especially since they get to try and hit back.

When was this? I don't think Carolla ever did stand-up, which makes Kindler a little obscure.

It was a hanging at the Comedy Festival thing. He was doing the "Well, if I haven't heard of him, he doesn't count!" thing. And, well, Kindler's a rock star at the Comedy Festival. Has been forever.

It grated.

Speaking of unhealthy food, Chris and I had our first Krispy Kreme doughnuts, today. The hot light wasn't on when we got there, and the only doughnuts on the assembly line were at the end of it--it looked like they were going to get filled and dressed, so we had to pick non-hot doughnuts from the case. I had a sugar (sugar raised), and Chris had some sort of glazed with Halloweeny colored jimmies on it. The doughnut was superior to Dunkin' Donuts sugar raised. The coffee was, however, inferior.

This summer we had the wettest June-August on record, followed up, naturally, by the second driest September. It rained almost every day this summer, and the weather alerts were one flash flood warning after another, punctuated by the occasional tornado watch.

Ah. I see where that would be annoying. But OTT pronouncements like that are part of Carolla's schtick.

Suffice it to say, I'm not down with the OTT especially in schtick that doesn't get turned off in social scenarios.

gronk!

Having a richly deserved day off, courtesy of a sinus infection, so I can't really enjoy it. And of course, the weather is perfect right now! Mild 70's.

Pfft. During the El Nino winter ('99?) it rained 57 days out of 60. And they weren't light showers either.

Lightweight. '99 was the 91 consecutive days of rain in Seattle. That year, pharmacies in Seattle ran short of Prozac (really! It was in the paper!).

Bits of sun in DC right now.

Only bits, but they'll do for now.
