This is rather disconcerting since, as the forecast called for showers after 11 pm tonight, I neglected to bring my rain jacket.

Most recently, we had a farewell party for proud patriot (who moved to Kona to grow coffee!) featuring myself, Hell Hath No Fury, and arcane1, at Tommy's Joynt in The City.

Really? A bunch of liberals in the Bay Area? Who would have thought?

Most definitely have to have a Bernie / DU get together here.

You're welcome. I spoke to the sky and asked it to spread out the rain

Slate Bar on 16th st.

I was also wondering if a place like Tommy's Joynt would accommodate a group in the back. I've seen sports-watching groups back there.

I have no idea what you are talking about


Maybe we can get something together for the second debate. I suspect everyone already has plans for the first one

The first one is starting to get here pretty soon, isn't it? I think I might post an OP just in case, and definitely for the 2nd one!

I have to plan excursions because I sold my car recently.

I did keep my Bernie bumper sticker which my son posted in an entrance to the subway:

I suspect it will be an unmeasurable amount of rain at the end of the day. Mother Nature, I double-dog dare you to prove me wrong!

That generally guarantees rain.

I had to put on long pants this morning after my early morning bicycle ride, and I'm almost ready to retire the flip-flops for shoes and socks; it's down right chilly!

Hooray! I just walked to nab some lunch at work, and a co-worker told me to take an umbrella.

Ha! She thinks I own an umbrella!

I love how it smells right now with the wet fallen leaves. It feels positively Chicago autumnish. *nostalgic sigh*

The first winter I lived here, they apparently had their coldest winter in ages. Regularly dipped down into the 30s. The 30s! But no snow. You'll know winter has hit its peak when people say things like, "Oh! There's snow on Mt. Diablo!"
