Greetings everyone, for the past several days all of Southern California have been hearing about this so called major storm that would drop 2-4" of rain on the coast and up to 8" in the mountains. This was to occur by Sunday night. Well, it is nighttime and it happens to be Sunday and most of today has been very dry. In fact, I would dare to use the word sunny but then again, it may just be me. As I type this, the rain has begun to pick-up in intensity but I doubt it will drop between 2 and 8 inches. I am sick of hearing these weather reports and the endless warnings that go with them. It seems like every two minutes, a new flashflood warning has been issued or high wind advisory. All these warnings can blow me. Let me know if there is a real threat like tornado or some other major disaster. Do we need to keep hearing about the dangers of flashfloods and not to drive in areas where the water completely covers the road? I would pose the statement that those who already know this are not likely to be the idiots that require swift water rescues. Anybody who gets swept up in a flashflood for being stupid should be left alone. I mean, we are taught natural selection in schools and yet we continue to help those that should have died off a long time ago. I am not advocating that we just kill off a bunch of people or allow them to die but we really need to take a look at whether we are helping society. After all, Mr. Spock once said that the "needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." That is all I am saying.
Anyway, my English muffin is ready so I must go eat. By the way, I have had one caffeinated soft drink and one coffee drink today. The shakes are still present but slowly beginning to subside.

All I am going to say is that many a time we (and by "we" I mean you as well) have gone to the desert camping during flash flood warnings.
