First it was a face. Now it’s trees. And a speed bump can just ruin one’s day.
Mind The Paw Prints

It’s the fall season. And with the season comes the inevitable changing of the colors of the leaves. Long drives with the top down is the preferable way to go. Mile after mile of driving along in your fuel efficient/bio-fuel car which makes nary a sound just enhances the beauty of the experience. And once you and your loved ones arrive back home and after smelling that fresh air all day, everyone is relaxed…until you spy the front yard, and the back yard, and don’t forget the two side yards. “I just cleaned them yesterday!” says the frustrated home owner. And, while the kids quietly disappear you open the garage door and see them. Yes, a rake still warm from yesterday’s uses, and the dog, a spry creature just waiting to rustle around the leaves as you try to tame the yard back into order.
Garden Gnomes and Wiper Blades

The big rain storm that slammed California on October 13th was the largest and most powerful October storm since 1962. NPR estimated that it dumped more than 8 billion gallons of water onto Lake Tahoe. If each gallon of water weighs 8.34 lbs that means the combined weight of all that water was an astounding 66,720,000,000 lbs. Yes, you read that right…that’s billion with a B, folks. That’s just an incredible amount of water! The level of the lake actually rose over a foot in just one 24 hour period.
