It's green here.

[randomness]

News outlets around the Bay Area have been running stories about the wet March here. Twenty-five of the thirty-one days of last month had measurable rainfall.

It's really made the landscape around here a very pretty green. I drove down I-680 from Vallejo this afternoon. The hills were the bright green of young grass.

There's going to be more rain here later today, they say.

You're in the Bay Area? I didn't know you were in the Bay Area. And yes, this weather is not as advertised.

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

I am right now, yes. Are you here also?

[faendryl.livejournal.com]

Yup, in Palo Alto.

I'm right up the road in Redwood City, and will be free today and tomorrow. If you might be free to connect, email me an address or phone and I will reply with my phone number.

And here in the Boston area we had the dryest (I typed that word four times trying to figure out the correct way to spell it, ie or y?) March since 1915 with only about 1/2 inch of rain all month. We are under red flag warnings for forest fires and there is no yard waste burning allowed. Things are still quite winter grey. Although we did get a little rain yesterday it in now way makes up for the 5+ inch deficit.

Oh, I adore that green! Although I also love hills when they're golden in the summer. Actually, the weirdest thing was being home for spring break and, on part of 680, snowy peaks right behind the green rolling hills.

I hope you're enjoying your time in the Bay Area!

I am, thanks!

It was also the driest March on record in Central Park (the NYC official weather station). Nonetheless, all the lawns are greening nicely--there's enough water still in the soil for the moment.

I'm out here now. I start work tomorrow! If you want to grab dinner or something one of these days give me a shout.

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

I think I may have run out of dinner opportunities, because tomorrow I pick up the CEO from SFO. From then on my time stops being my own.

But give a call anyway, because there's a chance I might get free at some point.

This year green, next year brown, later that year or the year after that black.

At least that's the southern California progression...

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

Naah, this is Northern California. Apparently the green happens every year up here, or so say my hosts. It's just a question of how long the green lasts.

Curse you all and your good weather! =)

[whitebird.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the green is really intense this year, and it's lasting forever, which is absurdly nice.

It was good having you over, glad you liked Mi Pueblo. I'm continuing your game, and am within 15 or 20 turns of acheiving space.

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

Thanks for putting me up! Mi Pueblo was good, definitely.

Ended up as a launch in 2013. But I'm pretty certain I could do it faster.

I too am in Palo Alto. If you are not too busy, perhaps we could even get coffee or lunch or something?

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

That would be great. My time is not my own yet, and won't be until I drop off the CEO at his flight at the end of the week.

Is your phone number the same one you had in Boston, or has it changed since you left? (If the latter, could you email me here at username at LJ?)

Hope to see you!
