It's predicted to go down to 40F tonight. Not cold by Midwest standards but cold enuf for So Cal! At that temp the avocado leaves will turn black because they have no natural anti-freeze.

I'd nuke a BILLION PEOPLE if it would save the other 7 billion from living under Putin. Hell, I might go all the way to the last 100 people on Earth to keep this planet from being under fascist rule.- WISHIMAY

Bummer. 
It's funny to hear my parents talk about how "cold" it gets down by them now. "OMG! We had to wear jeans and a sweater last night!"
lol

In fact, even me complaining about the heat can sometimes be a Cadillac Complaint because nothing beats good old Midwest/Southern humidity!

Me, I'm still not ready. As usual! This year tho I have a legitimate excuse ... too many home repairs bunched up before Xmas!
We were watching one of those home renovation shows ... Love It Or List It Too which takes place in western Canada (Probably Vancouver or nearby but you would have to tell me about it if you recognize landmarks, BRENDA!) and they were talking about the difficulties of renovating a 100-year-old home and all of the problems that can be encountered (settling, rot, undersized utilities, bad pipes etc.) and it suddenly struck me ... OUR home is almost 70 years old! It's not 100 years but definitely qualifies as an "older home" and is showing its age! NO WONDER we've had to make so many repairs! Over the past ten years new roof, new copper water supply, new heat/AC, new flooring, new demand water heater, new waste lines, new irrigation system, replaced most of the windows, moved a door, rewired the garage ... and still have a lot of things to do!
Anyway, now I know that it's not just bad luck with our house, it's normal and expected. When we moved in lo these many years ago the house was not yet "old". Time sure flies!
Anyway BRENDA, MERRY CHRISTMAS IN YOUR NICE COZY FUNCTIONAL HOME! May you create many happy memories there!

"Love It or List It" is filmed in Vancouver. I've seen the ads on tv.
My friend and I will meet up on Saturday to exchange gifts, have lunch and talk.
It is niiiice to be warm because of all the rain we are getting.

Christmas tree partially decorated. Will finish tomorrow. Watched news and M*A*S*H and wired ornaments. Now just have to remember where I put my Star Trek and 1 Star Wars ornaments.

I see your wind on this real-time globe, but it looks like the state of Washington is getting slammed. https://earth.nullschool.net/
