WGA Strike to end this week (?) and here comes the rain again.

A year ago, you could'nt find a drop of water in the skies above Southern California. For it's rainy season, we had little over 3" of rain, when 6" is average. Since the season began last July, we've hadover 11" -with the bulk of it last month. January also became the 13th coolest, with 21 days below normal and over 5" of rain.

It is raining today, but its not a huge thing. And no matter how much rain we have, it will not offset the 5 years of drought the region has had. Still, not looking a gift horse in the mouth, I'll accept whatever the rain Gods give us. Even if it means spending another day looking out a window into a grey, dull sky.

Plus, I have some pretty good word that the WGA will end this week. It seems the studios have come to a deal on residuals -the main sticking point - but nothing can and will be made until the weekend is over.

Let's see if it does.
