It's snowing in the mountains but, we're out in shorts and "T" shirts
B.B.'s getting old but, he still rocksCalifornians are extremely “weather aware” as a result of the magnitude of the natural disasters experienced by the state on a regular basis. If it isn’t wind-whipped fires, torrential rains and mudslides or earthquakes, it’s 11 feet of new snow!!! That’s what Lake Tahoe received over the weekend. I’ll bet the skiing is great. Too bad one can’t get there!! Even the interstate highway was closed.
All around us were severe weather events on the weekend however, we only received a small amount of rain (just overnight ……. they don’t allow rain to ruin the daytime in Palm Springs) and, a bit of breeze. This place really is an oasis ………even from weather. However, when looking out at the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto mountains, the snow line is decidedly moving “downhill”. Winter is getting close but, given that the mountains reach an altitude of 10,000 feet, it is a long way from ever getting us.
Seeing B.B. King on the week-end, reminded us that everyone gets old. Neither of us thinks that ol’ B.B. will be touring much longer. He can still play as well as ever but, at 82 years old, remains seated throughout his concert and, takes lots of time out between songs. Maybe he should hang up old “Lucille”. Hopefully, when we see Earth Wind & Fire next weekend, they will have retained more of their original energy! What the heck ……. we have ;-)
