Been watching the TV and you guys sure are getting hammered down there with the El Nino and we're getting the positive spin off with very mild and sunny weather, some rain but not as much as we expected. The flowers and shrubs etc. are about three weeks ahead of season in blooming and growth, so we're doing alright. great to get a good Leica start on the scenics. And not the scenic mudslides! <<<In 20 minutes,her car had water up to nearly the floor boards - and the creek, which was in its banks when she got there - is 100 yards away and down slope! Flash floods are soooooo fun. Horses, car, wife and ranch cat all doing fine.>>>>>>> Good news is, family is all OK and that's what counts in the end. Given there has been much loss of life down your way it's good to know your wife and critters are OK! ted
