      First rain of the season starts today, with Santa Cruz leading at .80 inch of rain.  I woke up early (7:25 is early for me) and peaked out the window hoping to catch the rain.

      The Rain Ôí giời, Cali keo này hết động đất lại đến tsunami. Ơ hay, mà mình có bịa chuyện đâu mà phải sợ-sệt thế nhỉ? Bắc-Ninh là một thành-phố miền Bắc của HN. I think so! Không thôi, tại sao gọi là Bắc-Ninh. Chả biết nữa. Chỉ biết là từ Bắc-Ninh về HN đến… Continue reading
