We're getting the first "rain" we've had in several months. Now, rain in San Diego usually means that our patios might get damp enough not to walk around barefoot on. It's mist. Barely. Sunday I spent the day working outside and sat down in a patio chair and literally took a nap in the middle of the big storm.

Now, having said that, should it actually get wet out on the roads, do not, I repeat, do not trust San Diego drivers to observe safe wet weather driving protocols. People out here do not know how to drive in the rain...er, mist. Traffic accidents increase by over 200% whenever it gets a little wet out here.

We can't really blame it all on the driving, though, because there are months' worth of oil residue and a little bit of water makes it all really slick.

Just be really careful if you're out on the streets. Also, if we get a real rain, don't go in the ocean. All that runoff makes for unhealthy swimming conditions.

Check out Old Town, too. It's a fun afternoon, and there's a real haunted house - the Whaley House - on San Diego Avenue. It's one of two registered haunted houses in the state, the other being the Winchester Mansion up in San Jose.

Where are you both staying? What part of town, I mean. San Diego is really a huge place. The county of San Diego is larger than the state of Rhode Island.

Peace, all,
