Back From Seattle

It is just good to be back in Cali!  Sure, it didn't rain while I was in Seattle which was actually too bad because that means no fresh snow to board on so that kind of sucked.  Although the snow wasn't too bad but still could of been better because it was pretty compact and the trails were horrible especially at Crystal Mountain mainly because to be able to have a decent length run, you must take multiple lifts.  Stevens Pass was better but at the same time the trails were also pretty short.  I boarded 3 out of the 5 days that I was in Seattle so I'm fine with that!  I did get one day to myself to drive around and explore Seattle or more like the state of Washington.  Car and I took the ferry for the first time so that was kind of interesting although the roads were just horrible in Washington.  The streets were all so disorganized and curved every few yards and there was a lack of sidewalks as well.  Everything just felt like such a small town feeling although Seattle is suppose to be a tech mecca for the young but all I saw were old retirement folks and ghetto kids.  I just think they need to knock everything down and restructure everything because all the twist and turns is just a waste of space.  Anyways, I can't believe how many times I went boarding this season because for the past 2 years my average has been 4 times a season but so far I have gone boarding 5 times already and 2 more times to go!

Tornado In California?!

Apparently there is a tornado warning in Southern California, which is pretty crazy because California never gets any tornadoes but not only that Californians do not have basements.  So what are Californians suppose to do in order to protect themselves from the beast of winds?  Apparently we are suppose to find a ditch and cover our heads.  Great...because that would really save your life from powerful winds that can topple buildings.  Behold the mighty power of covering your head!

You're screwed.

Theft On A Rainy Day

Suddenly out of the blue, the forecast shows that it will be raining in sunny California for the next 3 days. I thought it was just going to be a light drizzle but it's a full blown shower! Anyways, in the light of the down economy, there have been an increase in theft obviously. There was an incident yesterday where 2 elderly in their 60s robbed a young mother while they held her 1 year old son hostage. It's insane! So while driving in the rain, it made me wonder. The best time to boost a car or rob a vehicle or a person on the street is when it's raining because there's going to be no one around. Once you get out of your car, you won't take your time walking to where ever you're going. You're going to rush. Everyone is going to be indoors away from the rain so no one is going be around and even if someone saw you breaking into someone's car or even robbing someone, no one is going to stop or chase you down because they're not likely willing to risk getting wet. The only downside of performing thievery in the rain is that obviously you're going to get wet.
