Purple nurple

Watched the waves for a while this morning. Kinda meh. But the sunrise gave the incoming cloud front a really cool purple color. And the contrast with clear skies everywhere else was interesting. It's cloudy everywhere as I write this. Our rainfall total this year is a pretty unimpressive 7.5", with 2.5" of that coming in the last storm (as of 11 Feb). We almost always manage to hit double figures, though sometimes it takes a March Miracle (1991).

In somewhat related news, Kevin and Vana's 8 Feb blog entry is about rainy Bali. They are doing a nice job of documenting their trip.

Update: the link to Goleta rainfall isn't archived, it provides the most recent rainfall totals. Oh well. We are up to 9.5" as of 17 Feb.

Update: we are over a whopping 10" as of March 7.
