stormy welcome

for the first time in more than half a century, the annual rose parade in pasadena was drenched with rain. lots of it.

went to casino morongo with a friend and the drive was smooth except for the occasional rain along the 10 freeway. as usual, i lost moolah, not that much this time though. only that i could have bought a nano already. oh well, charge it to experience again. and what a way to start my new year!
