This is January?

1. The temp is 70, and to maybe be a bit warmer tomorrow.
2. We were very cold last week, normal for January.
3. I hope we are not headed for a major drought
4. This can all change in a week or two. Cold rainy.
5. I left my window open last night, and this morning it was not even cold (warmer than during our foggy summers)
6. Why can't the weather be like this for IBR?
7. This messed up weather = Global Warming??
8. But if were only a weekend. I'd be at the beach!

Others less fortunate

Things like this make me sad. My building (owners choice) do not accept Sec 8 vouchers.
An email like this that I just received at work, makes me want to count my blessings....

"Hello my name is Jeanette and I am inquiring about the rental in San Mateo.
I had been living in San Bruno for the last 13 years, I had a 4 bedroom apt. and had all 4 of my daughter living with me. Slowly they grew up got married and moved. The rent starting getting outradgouse. The 2 younger daughters continued to live with me and my grandaughter that is so near and dear to me her name is Tatyana she is 7 years old.
The landlord continued to raise the rent till I could not afford it. I moved out on November 1,2008 and haven't found a place. We had no Christams tree no Christmas.

So

tonight the HR Block commercial states, that they will get you the best tax refund from your income tax returns

Great. Refund? Not all will be refunded. The state of California may be issuing IOU's instead :(
