What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?
Rainy and windy here in Oceanside. Was thinking about heading down to Rosarito to buy some pottery today but I'm guessing the roadside vendors close
when it's raining.

Hilarious and true!!! Large waves forecasted mañana. Should be fun to watch but I'm a tad concerned about coastal flooding with that energy pushing
ashore.

Low clouds and GRAY. The Sierra Santa Clara are lighting up though. The Pacific is....well...pacific.

I guess it will have to do! I literally just looked out the window to see a whale blow and do a big fluke show as it passes between the point and the
island. Pretty darn better than stuck in LA traffic!!! Huh?? Or Oceanside... This is what that looked like yesterday...

"Neck of the woods"
Ever wonder where that expression comes from?
www.theguardian.com/notesandqueries/query/0,5753,-22668,00.h...
In Bill Bryson's "Made in America", the claim is made that the origin of "neck" is the Algonquian word "naiack" meaning "point, corner", Algonquian
being the name for a North American native language (and indeed language group). This at least fits with other sources recording its first use as in
the USA.
Matthew Carmody, London UK
According to word-detective.com: "Neck of the woods," meaning a certain region or neighborhood, is one of those phrases we hear so often that we never
consider how fundamentally weird they are. In the case of "neck," we have one of a number of terms invented by the colonists in Early America to
describe the geographical features of their new home. There was, apparently, a conscious attempt made to depart from the style of place names used in
England for thousands of years in favor of new "American" names. So in place of "moor," "heath," "dell," "fen" and other such Old World terms, the
colonists came up with "branch," "fork," "hollow," "gap," "flat" and other descriptive terms used both as simple nouns ("We're heading down to the
hollow") and parts of proper place names ("Jones Hollow"). "Neck" had been used in English since around 1555 to describe a narrow strip of land,
usually surrounded by water, based on its resemblance to the neck of an animal. But the Americans were the first to apply "neck" to a narrow stand of
woods or, more importantly, to a settlement located in a particular part of the woods. In a country then largely covered by forests, your "neck of the
woods" was your home, the first American neighborhood.

Snow in the Sierra, with more due later today and tomorrow. My trip to Baja is now on hold until next week. I was going to head south manana.
Why do Liberals insist and demand that achievers pay the way for nonachievers who are to lazy to succeed, or are just failures by their own choice?
Criminals prefer unarmed victims, dictators prefer unarmed subjects.
Why do ignorant people continue their blabbering when it only proves to others how stupid they are.

Rain and wind in San Marcos (between Escondido and Oceanside), but not nearly the force the weather babes predicted last night. Even John Coleman said
we should see over 2" of rain today... Maybe tomorrow? Although as I type this, the rain is hitting the side of my window here.

Always better for the weather babes to be wrong ...
Than for an Arab weather guy to always be right.

Right Now, There Are Heavy Winds from the Southwest (Approx. 25 MPH) No Rain, in Primo Tapia, Rosarito
There was some rain overnight, but when I ran the dogs outside to tinkle and get busy this morning, the pavement was wet, but there was no rain coming
down then.
