Hmm.... i dont know if i really believe this... but this is the predicted rainfall for tuesday and wednesday: 5 to 7 inches in malibu. It will be interesting to say the least if it happens... but it is also important to note that last year we had a very similar forecast which was totally wrong.. it didnt rain at all. 

Sometimes even the Valley is pretty. 

the water tower! 

Anyone ever wonder what Davis, CA would look like if it snowed there? (this is from 3 years ago) 

Rocks, Sycamore, Moss, Water 

I live down there! 

crazy huge rock up Solstice Canyon

snow from the freeway as the city bakes at 80 degrees 

here's another nerd picture of my video game! we got a bunch of BCO people on there, it's fun. Unfortunately, i have a cold, so i was just sitting around all day. WoW is fun but having a headache and an oozy nose is not. I'd rather have been in Zuma Canyon any day. 

Here is me with my beard... some people are telling me i should grow it back. i dunno... 

Here is a picture of me without a beard. 

I think this is really cool even though it didnt really come out. It's a plume of smoke raising from LA. 

winter is here. this is a blurry picture of some very frosty grass and a frosty roof. temperatures in the interior valleys got down into the mid 20s early this week. I actually found ice in a creek... 

Jesus is lord..... unfortunately the flash turned on. the bumper stickers were great. 

A weird little storm came though last night... just a quick thunderstorm in Torrance but some heavy snow right down to the valleys in some areas east of LA. It cleaned out the air good... this is Castro Crest (near the middle, i live below that) and Saddle Peak (to the right) from quite far away. 

Well, after a whole year..... after all of the late nights, last hopes and lost time....... well, the emo saga is over. Anyone reading this will probably laugh at my melodrama and say i am full of it but... i'm glad i haven't lost my friend. 

Sunrise... 

Sunset... 

This is what i see when i step outside! The most distant 'island' is actually the Palos Verdes Peninsula, where i spent a lot of time wandering as a teenager. 

the Darth Vader House!
