Well, looks like the ground was busy with smaller rumblings after the 3.9 last night. Haven't felt the small ones, so onward.

Definitely not making light of the problem with egg availability and prices, but I figure that if I forego getting one bottle of wine, I can put that toward a dozen eggs, and make those last a few weeks. Maybe a little longer; one every other day. Hoping for a fix to the whole bird flu crisis.

Basically nice 70˚ day here in SoCal; sunny with some clouds/haze, but good enough for 2.3 miles walking about the neighborhood. Might actually hit the Van Nuys park tomorrow with some lunch. 😊

Felt a little jiggle at 0630 this morning, maybe one second. USGS had nothing initially, but MyShake nailed it as a 3.5 in Malibu. Couple of minutes later USGS showed it. USGS seems to be having glitches with their e-quake map, and they say so on their site.

Still happy that my APC backup batt is connected to my iMac, my big Anker powerbank is charged up, I have an extra little LED flashlight in my pocket to go along with the light on my phone. Monitoring the TV news and the LADWP outage map.With any luck the rain will tail off in a few hours.

Starting to post here in Bluesky and should increase the frequency soon. Will post some of the same msgs over on FB for a while. Anyhow, the rain's coming down pretty hard here in the San Fernando Valley in SoCal where I am. Anyone else in similar weather, stay dry and safe.

Still learning how everything works over here in the land of the Blue Sky, but I'll be posting more soon, you bet. And a big hello to folks who posted that they're following me; looks like I've got some follow responses to click. 😁
