Ah ken Jim,
It's all this weird heat we've been having up here over the last week.
My wee girl pointed at this strange orangey object in the sky and said "Dad...is that Jupiter?"

LOL!

If you think you're getting Spanish weather, it's 80 right now and was 105 this afternoon in the valley. So I closed the shutters and slept to 4 hours.

Simon;

Are you sure you are not in Silicon Valley?

We are having the same weather. 80's in Silicon Valley and 105 (F) in the California Central Valley.

It does look a bit like the Valley before high-tech arrived, we even have our own 101. i hope I am not the harbinger of low-rise buildings, car lots and Sushi bars

hmm these plastic guitars are not good for flamenco I think. For an e-guitar...ok.. An e-guitar would work too if you put the sytem on a broom. No.. a plastic flamenco guitar would like beer without alcohol... tstststs.... nonono
