As with any major weather event, I'm stocked up and stayin' home. It's good to be retired. 🙂

Lets keep our fingers crossed. With recent traffic history I am sure CalTrans expecting at least one idiot to close the front route for at least 6 hours plus potential mud slide there also. Increasing our odds of having a way out of dodge at least for the next 2 weeks or.........

Should we start a pool on when the 38 will be closed again. The rain will just flood it out again since it’s not done yet
