The Rose Bowl (Bama vs Indiana) weather is a mess as tropical moisture is drenching Southern California. Game Day is on and it is a soaking right now. I see a possibility of a break around kickoff, but it will be wet.

This graphic shows moisture in the area....

Happy 1st Day of #Kwanzaa. Candidly, I have not really celebrated it but always acknowledged it. This morning, I decided to do a deeper dive in Forbes and connect its 7 principles to climate change action.
