Rained like a b-tch up here in LA yesterday. Some of the loudest thunderstorms I remember up here. Raining a bit tonight.
Wish we were skiing this weekend instead of last weekend.

I was down there last weekend, already so green. I love the color in Baja this time of year, just spectacular.

We're a bit moss-covered in the Pacific NW--no wonder we crave Baja, so we can dry out. One year the rain followed us all the way to Cataviña. But it
was a treat to see everything in flower.

Same here in North County San Diego... and still raining now but light rain. The heavy stuff was on Thursday and again Saturday afternoon. Thunder
only on Thursday's storm arrival.
I love this (even though it kills my irrigation income) because it silences the doom and gloom voices that we are in a "dangerous global warming,
man-made drought"! LOL...
Every 5-10 years, we have a heavy rain season... I still have the photos from 2010 when all the Hwy. 1 bridges were washed out (San Vicente, Colonia
Guerrero, El Rosario).
The point is that it is NORMAL and NATURAL to have 5 or more dry years in a row, followed by a really wet year. The earth is in balance. We may not
like it and some will try and profit from the fear they create from those with short memories.
Enjoy the rain... and remember that we will have 5 or more drought years after this year... so keep installing low-water-use plants and drip
irrigation (or low-volume) MP Rotator sprinklers!

The voices are in your head. Nothing is silenced with the rain.
You need to get an education and stop making the Southern California drought political. It comes across a more crap from a Republican agenda.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.

F*ck it.

I hate riding in the mud. The 1987 Baja 1000 was a mess on the pacific side. Last nights SX race reminded me of it. I only fell down once and that was
in 2 feet of water and the bike never quit running.

The race was good. The sandy dirt drained about as best as any could so traction was ok.
But yeah falling down was to go swimming. Many old school water crossings.
Dry track funner to watch and ride.

As an old enduro rider I loved watching the SX last night. How often do you get to see the best riders in the world paddling with their feet to get
over the top of a jump?

That's what I think. Watching the stars struggle is fun. We'll be back to groomed track supercross soon enough.
Watching them hit the big jumps and still get big air in the mud was amazing. And slip and fall in the next simple turn.
I thought Tomac's bike might break on the last lap when he actually stopped a few times from so much mud built up.
Can motocross and the Baja 1000 please come together in the form of an awesome track somewhere in Ensenada please.
The rain will make Baja perfect for riding.
Someone please go riding there and post fotos...
I can't wait to see the place after a little warm weather and sun.
It's going to explode with flowers... and butterflies...

98% global scientists say DK is wrong.
At 61 years old, he believes his age is proof not a lot is going on.
Sorry, DK, your age is not an argument. I'm believing the scientists.
BTW, no rain in La Paz or Todos. Must mean no global warming.

Lee, no sense arguing with DK. He thinks he's right, and no possibility of parole. Go fishin' amigo, much more relaxing with positive results.

Give me one global warming alarmist prediction that has come true... and don't say it is sea level rising because I have 60 years of photographs to

Those same scientists predicted those storms this past weekend. Just sayin

David,
We recognize your beliefs about global warming/climate change.
But, just for a moment, could you imagine if scientific research, claims and predictions have some validity? What would you say if your thinking
allowed room for an update to your beliefs?
What if it IS true that humans have affected the quality of our global environments and could somehow adjust their behaviours accordingly ?
When it comes to maps, you are on the "right" side of accurate information....on some other matters, not so much.
Just consider for a moment that your beliefs may not be supported by evidence....
