here's the latest from the middle of California

the weather is nice after a cold spell and some rain last week

the NFL says the chances of Los Angeles being awarded an NFL team are deminishing quickly

USC lost to Oregon State last week

Cal won yesterday, and Stanford sucks this year

the 49ers beat Minnesota yesterday, but they still suck

the raiders play Seattle tonight, and the raiders still suck

the southern half of the State is on fire

and the "Crop" is nice and green this year, which is half of the reason that the northern part of the State is better (see the previous point about the fires)

you don't want to know the political news

YET ...
