Earthquakes, wildfires, mudslides, bankruptcy (wife's job may go at end of the year) and now drought; never a dull moment in California. Something tells me that we may be hitching the wagons, soon.

Sorry to hear that. Not sure that other parts of the country are much better off. I remember the Northridge quake, that same year there were several times more deaths in the east due to cold.

And curiously, here in Spain we have had the coldest wettest winter in years. Wonder what will happen when our summer arrives regarding temperatures. 45 degrees centigrade + this summer? I hope not, but looking at Australia, that may be possible too.

Hard times all over the world.

Global warming?
