But it never rains in California.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
For Cass and Trudy - shoes.
Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours.

Thanks, Stephanie and Steph (oh, and it's totally not being picky - *I* asked! And I love learning new words and expressions from you guys).
Where are your friends going to be living here? You TOTALLY need to come visit them!!!
Both my friend and her DH got Post-Docs in Stanford.
The chances of me visiting them are, indeed, not slim at all. If they were not flying over there in the middle of the semester (the date of their flight was postponed and moved a few times), there was a high chance of me flying with them, to help them with the kids (2.5 and 6 months old) during the flight and the first few days, but as the current date stands, I can't leave the university in this time of the semester.
IIRC, "When it rains, it pours" is the slogan of Morton Salt. I think the iodization also helps the salt not clump up when it's very humid.
Of course, a couple of grains of Minute Rice in the salt shaker will help as well....
I've heard both versions. (And, in fact, when I use said phrase, I use "It never rains, but it pours.")
I wonder if it's regional. I've never heard it the other way, which is interesting. Either way, it's very true.
I Believe In Evolution, Except For The Whole Triassic Period
We can look at the fossil record and trace many of our genetic traits back to ancient species. In fact, scientific reasoning can explain nearly every stage of life from the Big Bang to the present day. I say "nearly" because the period that scientists claim lasted from roughly 205 to 250 million years ago, commonly known as the Triassic period, was quite obviously the work of the Lord God Almighty.
Don't get me wrong: I'm not one of those religious nut cases who denies that evolution is real. Of course evolution is real, just not during the "Triassic period."
This so-called Triassic period saw the formation of scleractinian corals and a slight changeover from warm-blooded therapsids to cold-blooded archosauromorphs. Clearly, such breathtakingly subtle modifications could only have been achieved by an active intelligence.
The secular Triassicists would have you believe that these changes were just the result of millions of years of nature favoring certain genes over others in order to adapt, the same way evolution worked prior to the Triassic. Obviously, that doesn't make any sense. Think about it: I'm supposed to believe that the same process that we know slowly changed us from simple bacteria into highly advanced reptiles over the course of the Paleozoic era is also responsible for turning us into highly advanced reptiles with different body lengths? Do these people ever pause to think how ridiculous they sound as they advance these theories?
Man was not an accident and reflects an image and likeness unique in the created order.
Mr. Brownback apparently has also never seen a Bonobo?
secular Triassicists
That's a new one.
...this is a joke, right?
