- CD cover quote: "EVERYONE: E: CONTENT RATED BY: ESRB"-

I was talking to another blogger in my dream last night, one that I have not met and have only read a single post of, in a magazine. What is odd about it is that I read it only yesterday, and I very, very rarely have dreams relating to the previous day. Hum.

The Great Domesticated Desert of DoomTM got some much, much needed rain today. I only hope that'll make it somehow down to Santa Cruz, which is sort of burning up right now. Interesting little tidbit that not a lot of people realize: the GDDoD has a Mediterranean climate. Hence, it is actually normal for us to get deluged in the winter and have a water-rationing-worthy spring and summer.

The fact that it is otherwise in most climates frankly blows my mind. Rain? In the SUMMER?? What are you, crazy? Hot=dry, cold=wet, immutable principle.

Another amusing thing is to compare notes with other people in the U.S., who are astonished at how much we pay for gas here, which is around $4.00 a gallon (1 gallon=3.78 liters)...

*pause for my U.K. readers to be aghast at how cheap it is here*

Reality check. If it is summer, and raining, that might be a good indicator of dreamland. ;)

    No need to rub it in, haha... This week we have seen truckers blockade around London and Wales. Price may come down but we will still pay stealth tax though other sevices.

  2. I wonder why it is more expensive there? I know it is higher in CA (compared to the rest of the U.S.) because we have high gas taxes (supposedly to keep emissions down, remember CA is more environmentally conscious than many other states), but surely there is a limit to how high taxes can be...

Try to keep it family-friendly.
Otherwise, poetry, random exclamations, and opinionated diatribe all welcome.
