Kendall ~~ was in Calif several days, visiting dear friends in Santa Monica. We had several fine days; but also, both times, days of heavy rain of a sort which our hosts assured us didn't happen there in the normal course of events. I told them, if ever they had a serious drought, don't do a rain dance, just send for the GMs ~~ that never failed to bring the heavenly precipitative irrigations...

Loved the West just the same, mind. Just pointing out that the weather in Southern Cal not always as idyllic as the myth would have it.
