No work for me . . . .

. . . Working today???

Hooked myself up with a 4 day weekend.

Been a lazy bastard about it too. We still have the christmas tree up in the living room . . . . . . . . not even going to touch it today, I'm heading out the door to meet Steve (Tazman64) and get a look at his new Megalodon in person . . . . I want to see that bad SUMBEECH (thanks Duff!!!) . . . .

FUN DAY!

Cool!

I am lucky, I work from home...

No work for me today (still). Sitting here watching the rain blow horizontally past my window...
Dakar ends, Australian Open begins.

Work for me. Would love the day off!!

No work for me today either! Cheers.

...now the rain's blowing horizontally the other direction... and they're predicting a full week of this.

Yes it will Mark. Then it'll have some idiot kid in a raft in it, too, that'll need to be rescued.

The last time I was in LA it was raining in the morning and there were tons of crashes and one guy even managed to go of the freeway into the river...must have been a "CHIPS accident!" I think it was on the 134

I remember that... he went off the I-5, just south of the 134.

You guys are really pissing me off, you know i'm a 1 1/2 maybe 2 hours away!! and i've got 3 company credit cards for lunch, watches, women!! Scratch number 3 , we're all to old for that one!!

How many movies do you think have been filmed in the LA river over the years!! Plenty of car chases and a few helicopters!! All that cement just great for the taggers, man i wished i was closer my krylon spray paint sales would go up 10 fold!!!

Two holidays in a row for me , today and tomorrow

Patients all day for me. Tomorrow is an administrative day though. Paperwork

Not a lot of Holidays in the Nursing Profession. As for the LA River..... how does it rate being called a river? We call them drainage ditches in the east!

Because it flows from the hills to the sea? There's an elavation change... not much of that in FL.

It used to be a river before the Army Corps of Engineers came along with a plumb-bob and bags of cement.
Guess the name stuck, since it'd been called that for a couple hundred years.

It's nothing but a concrete lined "ditch" most of the time, Duff...but it's a place you don't want to be near when it rains around here...

I can remember using it once in a while for testing performance and race boats many years back when I was a young and stupid boat magazine editor...it drains into the Pacific in Long Beach near Golden Shores boat ramp...once things mellow out after a hard rain and all the crap gets washed out, it's a nice, straight chunk of water with nobody else on it...I've run some fairly hellacious boats down the last mile or so of it.......

I've seen it in many movies...car chases down it...and believe I've seen it full of water and moving faster than hell! Looks pretty dangerous at that time!

Duff, what did it look like prior to the cement? It must have been beautiful to see in person...

Yep, and that's usually when some idiot with a raft gets in it. Occasionally never to be seen again.
