Rainy day Tags

1. Northern Cali is currently swamped by a series of storms. Nothing like hunkering down under sweeping bands of wind and rain. In March. Motha Nature sashaying through the global warming beltway, laying down the splash and flurries just in the nick of the time. Atta girl! In Ben Lomand, down the coast, 9.6 inches of falling water was recorded. I swear I saw a paper boat float down the street today bumping up across the curb before it docked against a tire.

2. So everyday there are these geese that take flight. Same time. Same air space. Once in the morning at 7:30. Return trip in the late afternoon. I have tried to count wings and beaks as they stream their way through the corridor over my building. Elusive in their honking. And it is, my friends, loud. As they wing it, so goes the honking until they're off the horizon. But then in some sort of cosmic convergence, I caught a glimpse of this harmonic act last weekend. 2. Only 2 geese in a straight line. In sync. Perfect. The gaggle was on me.

3. The Walking Dead. One of the most creative telly series to hit my living room. Based on a comic book series, it is hard to describe without
sounding like an,um, zombie lover, but this is really about survivors and the journey. The show has set the record for cable audiences over anything else that has been aired previously.

4. The Walking Dead: currently, the Repubs who are in total retrograde. Neanderthal shenaningans. Stone age politics. Women. Back to the kitchen. Barefoot. And pregnant. Oh pleassse...

5. Arizona. The same state that produced SB1070, the controversial
anti-immigration legislation, has proposed a new bill that would allow employers the right to deny health insurance coverage for birth control pills based on religious beliefs. A woman would be required to provide proof that her prescription is being used for non-sexual activity. WTF.
