I born and raised in Montana, and they certainly have some severe weather up there. I have been in southern California since 1984 and am very climatized to the warm weather we enjoy here. I sort of chuckle every time it rains in southern California we have "Storm Watch (fill in year)" on EVERY news channel. We are currently getting a lot of rain here. There is actually flooding in areas of Long Beach, the ground cannot absorb the moisture fast enough. We are actually getting flooding in our area here. I will be home on "Storm Watch" tonight.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><br /></div>Brian Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08620109973956131837noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1090007800316039027.post-47978514046612839022010-01-15T22:50:00.000-08:002010-01-15T23:02:29.671-08:00The Traveling Corpse Project...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKvlhdp3ONgfR8Q9ngWzOIjT6MigzbMFHdZvXlAVqafloeSmAwHJ5Vq4e3TTIsTEWwkaqB_7RvnZXcnVrK0MI8VywIMI78Te9N-OijnbYd3L5CRv7ku5ErupwSqo-cQitljXwN5KQZ8fAN/s1600-h/tyukanov_purgatory_2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 165px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKvlhdp3ONgfR8Q9ngWzOIjT6MigzbMFHdZvXlAVqafloeSmAwHJ5Vq4e3TTIsTEWwkaqB_7RvnZXcnVrK0MI8VywIMI78Te9N-OijnbYd3L5CRv7ku5ErupwSqo-cQitljXwN5KQZ8fAN/s400/tyukanov_purgatory_2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427229487939894226" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">This is a photo of the front side of my page for <a href="http://travelingcorpse.blogspot.com/">"The Traveling Corpse Project"</a></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdhp4iHTBdlvDQVEe__4gyeuacIIKCNGe6Weet0oOHnnuGBtv8b5uQxucFVOOd3loEE-19RGUYNejJv7KT-0hnT-DKTLX8VKI1lD2D1qIqMuWb26dpfzD-kLwvkQUZ61s0XnPlAHLakha0/s1600-h/shmear.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 284px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdhp4iHTBdlvDQVEe__4gyeuacIIKCNGe6Weet0oOHnnuGBtv8b5uQxucFVOOd3loEE-19RGUYNejJv7KT-0hnT-DKTLX8VKI1lD2D1qIqMuWb26dpfzD-kLwvkQUZ61s0XnPlAHLakha0/s400/shmear.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427226808173225330" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Now I couldn't possibly show you the actual photo now could I?
