Good old Rich, the optomist. I'm still confused as to how he can consider himself lucky living in California, land of the mud slide, on the side of a mountain where he just enjoyed a record 5.61" of rain in a 24 hour period. Maybe Gary will be there doing crazy photography and catch Rich's house (on film) as it slides by . . . . .

Lucky it wasn't snow! As I recall, they say 1" of rain equals approx 10" of snow. Might have been sometime in 2004 before we heard from Rich again if it was snow.
