Welcome to LA - earthquake version

Unlike my former employer's office building, the MySpace office is not on casters.  That 5.7 (from over a hundred miles away) felt like it:

Seriously? Snow in July?

I'm not going to lie, when we got to our campsite and there was snow on the ground my first thought was "WTF?" and my second was "I KNEW I should have brought my beanie!"  Little did I know that Uncle Gary and Aunt Devonne would have every possible amenity one can have for "real" camping (no running water, sleeping in tents, closest major road is named "Dinkey Creek", campsite not visible from the dirt road).  All in all it was a wonderful trip with one of the best campfires in history.

So today I was fully expecting it to be a more difficult day after being so far out of cellphone service for the weekend.  Little did I know that work wouldn't be the challenge . . . that it's actually the crazy weather following me around.  Weird LA moment: check out today's weather forecast:

Who said climate change wasn't fun?
