#1 Hurray! The water reservoirs are being refilled -- California will be able to water lawns and wash cars all summer. Now if only the stupid tree huggers would allow the smart tree huggers to kill off the Eucalyptus trees, life would be truly good. ;-)

Oh, and don't forget skiing in the Rocky Mountain resorts -- this time of year rain comes down as snow up there. Now I want to go back!

#4 Am I the only one here that thought of Global Warming with this quote
"Meteorologists caution that their predictions are only as good as their computer models. And forecasts are less accurate the further into the future they attempt to predict." ?

Could we maybe just change Meteorologist to Climatologist and leave the rest of the statement, hmmmmm?

#6 TW, you mean to say that you don't love that Vicks Vaporub smell that emanates from the eucalyptus groves with the first rain of the season?

#7 Sadly, I've never actually been to the Eucalyptus State to experience that particular perfume. ;-) However, I do know three things about eucalyptus: they are native to Australia, not CA, and extremely invasive (like kudzu or Chinese honeysuckle); the resins are highly flammable (or is it inflammable?), which contributes heavily to the devastating forest fires y'all have been suffering from out there; and the resins when not burning are extremely sticky, and gum closed the beaks of the native birds, so that they starve to death amidst the plenty.

#8 President Bush was praying to God all along for this blessed convergence. Now that God has answered his prayers, we can only hope the red states are protected.
