Difficult weather in sunny - NOT! - California!
Happy Monday to all! The weather is California is tough! Closed freeways! Even 50 miles of I-5 north of LA were shut down - wow!

That stretch of highway in the hills north of LA seems to attract poor highway conditions. I struggled to keep up with the U-Haul just 30 feet ahead of me less than a year ago. I remember the zero visibility due to the dry fields on each side I5. The dry dirt created a dirt storm resulting in zero visibility. I gripped the steering wheel LOL but it was a recipe for disaster. None thankfully when I drove through there but the conditions were right as they were for the sleet and snow yesterday. And more rain to come – storm clouds extend out into the ocean for hundreds of miles. No relief any time soon. I totally loved living in Silicon Valley before the ‘dot-con’ I worked for slipped rapidly to stock watch then de-listing as so many other software stocks did. California is so beautiful with flowers everywhere, but the weather can be unforgiving. I remember thinking how odd it was after living in Manhattan to be in SIlicon Valley and to look to the Pacific Ocean for my weather ahead! LOL Yes, I want my ashes spread in Carmel for sure! It was totally a vacation to walk along the sand in Carmel with hubby and dawg. I can hear the surf now! LOL It made the 70+ hour work week bearable for sure! At least until the incompetent Controller would call me on my always-ON cell phone with yet another irrelevant question just to see if I’d answer the phone when she called on a Sunday afternoon. OMG The smart money is that she and the other senior leadership of the dot-con stole enough with performance bonuses to be comfy for life. Bet she’s messing up someone else’s life these days! But not mine! LOL Everyone, pace yourself and I will do same. Adios
