I sort of poo-pooed the weather prognosticators here yesterday morning. Boy did it rain here. They showed all the snow in the hills around the area. The Grapevine had about 8” and I-5 was closed, the same was true for I-15 from Vegas. Later in the day it had all melted. But that didn’t stop the TV stations from having their Storm Teams out and about. In Desert Hot Springs it just rained allot. There was flooding on the roads and we saw several stalled cars along the roads. They don’t have storm drains here so all the runoff has to runoff into the desert. I was concerned that would stall in the middle of on of those flooded areas.
We went to lunch at a good Mexican restaurant “South of the Border”, they were very friendly, and the storm had then all excited just like people get at home when it snows. The food was excellent too.
We saw that yesterday was the busiest day of the year for the postal service, so we just had to go there. The line was long but folks visited and it was our adventure for the day. The rest of the day we watched the storm, read, took a nap,and enjoyed each other.
By the way the ladies did do their water aerobics in the rain so that made Gorgie happy. This morning they are all going walking then doing their aerobics, she is in her element. We have extended our stay here by one day so we will be rolling out of here on Friday instead of Thursday so she will get an extra with the girls, nice to be able to be flexible.
More Later, Rich
