Bravo! :eusa_clap
Good stuff..!!
Thank you all! It's more Seuss than Stevenson, but it gets the job done. :D

Too much coffee. :p
Believe it or not, if I drink coffee at all these days it's usually one or two cups in the morning, and occasionally one cup after dinner (normal cups, not the supersized ones). But then, I think you believe one tiny sip of coffee is too much, so by your standards I should be zipping around the planet like The Flash. lol

You should. Where is my Flash Theme song music when I need it?:p

Only in California, will they send the child out in a Tiara to deal with the flood. :eusa_clap
Yeah, it's no wonder the rest of the country thinks Californians are a bunch of spoiled whiny brats. The problem is that everything in this state (at least this part of it) seems to be built on the notion that the weather will always be sunny and warm; anything other than that, and we're unprepared. The Department of Transportation, or Public Works, or whoever is responsible, doesn't maintain the drainage systems, then they act surprised when we finally get some rain and the streets and freeways flood. We have fires during the late summer or autumn months that decimate the foliage, then we get rain and the newly denuded hillsides become mudslides. Every year an area known as Malibu Canyon burns, usually including some of the homes built there, and the news crews always broadcast footage of some nitwit saying, "We've lived here for X amount of years, and we're going to rebuild." Maybe I'm just goofy, but if I lost everything because my house burned down every year I'd move no matter how much I liked the area. As the saying goes, "California is like a bowl of granola--what isn't fruits and nuts is flakes." :mmph:

That is because we live in a land run by morons. :doh:
