good morning or g'day?

another extraordinarily bright winter's day
i'm not surprised. since both the offspring have their bdays w/in ten days of each other at this time of year, i can remember
better than most that end of jan/early feb are more often than not, bright and sunny and almost summerlike, at a rate of almost 70%. the princesa loses out more than most though, usually her bday is cold and rainy, with sunshine the day before, and immediately the day after. but for the chivo's bday? sun, sun, sun. i remember too many times him going to school in shorts and t's on his bday and celebrating on the patio outside by eating tacos and having ice cream under bright blue skies.
during the great drought, we even had a swim party for his tenth. that's califas for you. something that non-natives don't realize.
its a desert state, mediterranean climate with only sporadic normal (12 '' annual on a good year) rainfall.
so all those lushly landscaped golf courses in socal? even nocal? an effort in futility.
