I got up early today because it's my last work day of the year!

I found myself at Peet's at 6:10 a.m. buying coffee and a sandwich for lunch. I don't expect weather will permit me foraging outside of this building at lunchtime.

It is currently raining in sheets in Oakland. It is not yet the lions and tigers and bears volume we're expecting later in the morning (at around 8 a.m., for instance).

Some areas of the Bay Area may acquire up to 10 inches of rain during the day. I'm expecting disastrous reports on the evening news regarding flooding and mudslides.

So far, I'm as snug as a bug in some balding guy's rug...but high winds could down power lines and we could find ourselves on backup power later in the day.

It's difficult to assess how strongly it's raining and blowing out there right now because it's very dark. I suppose the answer lies in the fact that it's difficult to see the street lights.

I fly out of San Francisco Monday evening. It's during the lull between storm systems as one is expected early next week.

Happy last day of work of the year, Ron Pulliam.

So, I'm disgusted by the storm hype. It's like the Bay Area has never seen a storm before. Schools are being closed. The rest of the country has snow days - well, not ALL the country - but what does California get? A RAIN day. The policy used to be that if there were no lights, school is closed. But Nooooooooo, precautions have to be taken because evidently, that's how we roll here in the big CA.

I'm moving to a stronger state.

From what I've heard on TV, the school districts elected to close today as a safety measure. Many children walk to school or ride buses to school. They expect flooded highways and dangerous traffic conditions. This is not a simple rainstorm in the eyes of the school districts. They are not prepared for the emergency measures that might be needed to keep the children in the schools if conditions become too dangerous to bus them to their homes.

While torrential rains (depositing up to an inch of rain per hour) and high winds (gusts up to 60 mph) are not the same as a blizzard, the lessons learned nationally last year when Georgia had a blizzard it could not cope with gave local officials pause as to being safe rather than sorry.

In addition to all the lovely birthday wishes, I could use some additional vibes today. At 1:30pm, there's a meeting with a social worker and a nurse in Mom's apartment to assess her for assisted living.

What's this about DR ELMORE becoming a sudent at Miami University?

I had some Post Office runs this morning.....and a couple of Dollar Tree pickups to make.....

What's nice is that they come by my house after work to pick up stuff, so I get to see everybody!!! That's a bonus.

I'm up, I'm up. I was actually up at eight after about six hours of sleep. I've been waffling back and forth about whatever the new book is - I had the idea I wanted to do, then was thinking I'd do something different, but really just wanted to do what I'd originally thought of. I just needed a way into it and it came to me this morning, so up I got and wrote the first two paragraphs of how I want to begin. So, now I know that's definite I'll continue making notes and sketching out the first couple of chapters.

Then my pal Jon Burlingame came by to get some CDs and we had a very nice chat.

I also enjoyed the videos in the notes. I love the soundtrack LP for The One and Only Genuine Original Family Band......like the soundtrack more than I like the movie.
