The rain this weekend wasn’t as bad as expected.  It was cold by Southern California standards.  But that doesn’t affect runoff.  We were treated to snow and ice atop Santiago Peak (over 5000 ft).  All the radio towers up there glistened in a sheath of ice.  Modjeska Canyon was under mandatory evacuation again due to the fear of mudslides.  But rumor has it that only 30% of the people actually evacuated.  When it was all said and done, there wasn’t much mud on roads this time.  There are signs of minor erosion in the hills behind our house but no gaping chasms.

It’s become clear after the first year of shows that one needs to have more than large photographs to offer.  The small 8X10 photographs have been reasonably popular.  I’ve had it in my mind to offer 11X14 photographs also.  But I think the next thing I’ll work on is note cards.  In fact,  Christmas will be the dry dry run, sending Christmas cards on the note card technology I plan to use.
