Butrfly's Wonderings

So, here we are, Winter 2005 with 11 days to go until the Spring equinox and I've been wearing shorts and tank tops the last few days and sleeping with the windows wide open. We hit yet another record temperature today. It was 84 and predicted to be even warmer tomorrow. If this keeps up, the snow melt in the Sierras is going to be horrendous.

When we were kids, we used to call unusually warm weather like this "earthquake weather." Something is truly odd about planet earth these days. We must be experiencing a hell of a wobble on the axis to cause this much of a sudden shift in seasonal temps the last few years.

My brother and his wife are enroute to their new home in Florida. I drove out to his house in the Bay Area last week to help with some packing and say goodbyes. It may be quite awhile before I see him again since neither one of us have jobs at the moment.
