Gut biome.  It turns out we're just exoskeletons for a fungus, sorta like the morgue autopsy scene in Men In Black.

Younger and more educated people are more likely to screen their calls.  But, yeah.

>atmospheric rivers

Yeah, me too, but I am more tired of dealing with them.  I have shoveled a lot of sandbags in the last few weeks.

Yeah, that's mostly what I meant, though in my case it is shoveling (and plowing and blowing) snow. When I hear "atmostpheric river" I know it means more shoveling and plowing. And I'm tired of going out to wipe off the Starlink dish every 30 minutes.

This video was taken about 5 minutes ago (8 seconds but it gives an idea of it looks like when an atmospheric river comes as snow).

We've been lucky - a lot of these storms have been warm and have dropped a lot of rain at our altitude. If it had all been snow, I think we would have at least 15 feet on the ground, maybe 20 (we've had 11 feet at our max and that was from a single 3-day cold atmospheric river in 2011).

I appreciate the break we are having this week.  We're going to have to replace our flooring on the first floor.  Apparently we've had over 24 trillion gallons of rain in California  since October 1.

Sorry to hear about the floor. That sucks.
