Good 36ยบ drizzling morning. Since this storm started on the
18th we've gotten 2½ inches. Yesterday we actually got 5 minutes of
sun!
This is what it's looked like most of the time....
And this morning the snow is gone from down here and there is snow on top
of my mountain!!!
My pal in La Crescenta said Friday they got 2¼" of rain down
there. Wow!!!!
It seemed to pour here all day. Even Bruiser was tired of
staying in, so looked like he took a walk down to neighbors Frank and Cindy's.
He came back SOAKED!!! Then it was time just to "watch" the rain...
Friend Bernie Kammer (LASD ret) wrote a fascinating story of
his journey from being born in Germany in 1943, escaping the war zone and
becoming a refugee to retiring from our department. Just an amazing story, and
if you are interested in reading it, let me know. I sent it to my pal Erika who
was born in Germany in 1940 and came to the USA in 1953.

brownies are a dark brown. To make blonde brownies, light brown sugar is used in
the recipe in place of dark brown chocolate.
On Blonde Brownie Day, its your right and responsibility to bake blonde

eat a few extra blonde brownies.
Note: The use of nuts and frosting on your brownies is
optional.
