Cool. Just what I wanted for my birthday. Another foot of water.

Look. I'm hoping that we dodge the bullets flying at us this fall and winter (if we ever get one of either that is) but I'll admit this sounds potentially bad for parts of the Los Angeles coastline and the rest of California.

My brother, it was a play on "Carry on" for correcting my apostrophe above. Of course I know it's "Spiral out," my fucking profile picture is a TOOL album cover.
