Good morning all. It has been raining strong and steady in the foothills of Duarte. Waiting to get off "house arrest" so we can get to our BBC place. Remember, you can not control circumstances around you, only how you react to them. Have a great day!

We have to get the city involved I think. There has to be some "official" statement made. Otherwise we'll get buried here soon.
