Two Things (UCLA and Rain)


Well, all is right with the world. UCLA beat Penn State to win it's 19th NCAA Volleyball Title. UCLA actually wasn't very good most of this year. They lost 12 games this season, but came storming back at the end of the season. They won 12 matches in a row, then they won the Mountain Pacific Conference Tourny (a made up, volleyball conference
race only so div 3 schools, UC Irvine, UC Santa Barbara, CS Northridge can play div 1 VBall). Then they won the NCAA Championship at Penn State (playing Penn State in the finals).

Early this year the Badgers wonthe Hockey Championship and so the world is correctly aligned as we get ready to wisk our way to New York.

Speaking of New York, Eddie was reading me the stats of the new condo. And he got to precipitation. Rain, that is.

It rains an average of 47 inches a year. Forty Seven. That is a lot more than LA's average of 13.5 inches. And it SNOWS an average of 28 inches a year.

Well well well. I hadn't thought about that.

I am moving to somewhere that has an average for Snowfall! If there is snow on the ground more than 14 nights, I will have more than double the nights spent in snow (2 nights in mammoth, 3 nights in in Minnesota and 2 nights in a freak London Snowstorm - the other 7 spread over nights spent in Rochester New York for Xerox).

Hummmmmmmmm, one says.
