Mouthing off:

Ok, lst - local news. By local, I mean right here. It is raining buckets here - literally! Now, today was the L.A. Marathon which they didn't cancel, I guess those things don't get cancelled. There were hundreds that suffered from hyperthermia. There were medics all over the place. It was (and is!) very cold out and some were running in inch-high water. They had medical facilities and they were wrapping the people in something that looked like foil, probably was foil. It retains heat. Unbelievable! In Tarzana they showed a eucalyptus tree that fell on a car and split the car in half! A gas station up in Castaic that a roof - looked like it was over the gas pumps, collapsed onto 2 cars. And snow up in the mountains, tons of snow! Good thing it is a Sunday. Lots of power outages - hope it doesn't happen here.
Ok, enuf of that! Sara Palin is travelling in Israel & India. Don't ask me why! I guess this will mean she has foreign experience. But I read an article that said she really bombed in India and that she "was out of her depth" and really didn't know what she was talking about. Why am I not surprised! She even thru in a story about a moose that her daughters saw! Who cares!
Libya: The missiles are coming from ships - evidently the lst missile came from a British ship. A building in the Ghadaffi compound was hit and badly. Don't know about any injuries. Now, McCain is saying that Obama waited too long. Had he done some sooner, we would have been by ourselves and they would complain about that. Whatever he does is wrong. A lot is happening there and I can't keep up w/it but we are not alone and no one can fault us.
Japan - radiation found in milk and spinach near the plants. I heard something yesterday about being careful here with the spinach from Japan and I really couldn't understand what they were talking about. Why would Japan send us spinach. lst of all, they are running out of food there and 2nd, don't we grow spinach in this country? And, if we didn't, wouldn't we buy it from someplace closer than Japan? Anyhow, now I hear that the water near the plant showed traces of radiation. But earlier I heard that the water in Tokyo showed traces of radiation. Each station tell you something else. Whatever they are saying, this radiation will be around for years and years!Also, what I don't understand is - how do we get radiation in California and they don't mention any place else? Now, I know it depends on which way the wind is blowing but there has to be some country between Japan and our West Coast.
Back to here - fortunately we have food in the house. I did a big shopping this week and fortunately (again) I over-bought so we are ok. We are flooded in front and back but so far, ok in the house. I am sitting here and listening to the rain! I haven't heard them say when it is going to stop.
Well, that's it for today. We'll see what happens tomorrow.
