It's been a wet year thus far!  It seems like we've been raining for two months now.  We've been super lucky that most of the rain has been coming down over night, making sleep very, very cozy.  Being from LA, I'm always water conscious and worried about drought.  So all this rain and snow in our local mountains have been very good.  In fact, the local mountains have become very green.  

2017 is off to a crazy, buzy start.  Happy be-lated Chinese New Year.  This is the year of the Rooster and although the year of the Monkey is behind us, things are still plenty crazy.  I don't know if it's the wet weather or the wet political climate, but my mind has not been very motivated to blog.  Given all that's been going on in the media, I've been overfilled with too much negativity.  But my biggest fear is the nagging feeling that another world war is overdue, almost like "The Big One" earthquake that always loom over California.  Hopefully, now that I've written my fear down, it will not be realized.  So for now, the thing that calms me is looking at beautiful pictures of Saturn taken most recently by the Cassini spacecraft.  Take a look at the incredible details of the ring structure.  It is truly amazing.
