Here in LA it's February 18th to 22nd for the rainy season. Not the start, that's the whole thing.
Heh. It is supposed to be an El Nino winter this year, but I think that'll mean a lot of warm wet rain, which won't build up our snowpack. We'll get a lot of fuel for fires but not as much in the reservoirs as we need.
In any event, I would have expected the rains to be starting by now, but it's just dry. Beautiful sunny days (when the air isn't full of smoke like today), and cool nights.
The air quality is so bad today they say not to exercise strenuously, so I took the dog for a hike in the woods instead of a run. Now I really have to do some stuff around the house instead of obsessively following political news.

Why am I wasting my day arguing the Dickey Amendment in the comments of Jen Gunter's twitter feed?
100 years from now, health researchers will have some interesting data to look at for the effects of long-term stress on all kinds of things at a population level.
I just read an article about stress-eating. Basically, yes, it does make you feel better, if that's your inclination. No, it's probably not good for you, but maybe you can rewire your brain so that you stress eat fruit instead of peppermint Oreos. For example.
Timelies all!
I like that New Yorker cover.Reminds me of the good things that happened with the elections.(Pissed about the rat-fucking, though.)
There was the one time I stress-ate a head of broccoli. I'm still on M&Ms right now, though.
I hate when I get yelled at at work for something I may have done wrong, but I'm not actually sure. So I don't quite have the moral indignation of being right, but maybe I can? Everyone can fuck off anyway. I need a drink.
AND my mother deleted my recording of 911, and I can't find Fox on demand?? WTAF.
I've been sitting here with a low to moderate level of stress for a couple of years, and I'm honestly not sure if I remember what it feels like to not be stressed.
Jesse, I think it's on Hulu if you have that.
