I'm not kidding, but to be fair, I'm comparing Los Angeles with Lansing.

It is expensive around here, though. A quarter million barely gets you a run down ranch style house in an area so crappy that the realtor's gift at escrow closing is an assault rifle.

Good. Maybe this year you won't have to steal so much of our rain.

I can sympathize dudes. Usually we have beautiful weather with occasional rain only but lately we have had rain almost daily for like 2 months. It's actually referred to as "The Sunshine State" but I suspect they just pedal that little fib for the tourism industry. Western Australia would be more aptly named "The Sunshine State". Much of this time has coincided with a bout of back pain for me so I was not disinclined to leave my bike idle for a while. Expensive though, as parking my pickup in the city runs to seventy five bucks a week.

Naw, we just won't take as much from Wyoming.

I moved from NY to CA, and I'm already a weather pansy. All the rain the past few days/weeks has put a real damper on my riding. Will be nice when we get back to weather as usual. I did do 165 miles in the past week, but they have been in sub-optimal weather.

Aren't you guys due for some more flooding/storms etc? At least that's what they are saying on the news in NYC?

Oh well think on the brightside - it can't be as bad as the flooding in Queensland Australia!

Yeah, we only flood down here because we don't think to clean our drains out any of the other 350 days of the year.
