California seasons
California seasons are crazy.

I remember hiking in Pinnacles on Halloween '99 with a black short-sleeved T-shirt, and being too hot and wishing I had worn white instead.

I remember skiing in Squaw Valley in late October '04, when they got 60 inches of snow dumped on them in October.

This year has been unusually rain-free on the peninsula, with less than a quarter of an inch of rain in both March and April, not a single drop or fain from May to September, and about half an inch so far in October (yes, that's less than an inch of rain in 7 months).

Once again, it looks like we're not really gonna have much fall at all this year, switching essentially from sunny summer (temperatures were in the 80s last week and are forecast in the upper 70s until next Friday) to rainy winter (rain forecast in 3 of the first 4 days of November).

Anyway, since California seasons are crazy, I figured that there'd be no harm in doing a spring cleanup in the time when people would normally enjoy fall but when we're about to switch straight from summer to winter. Confused yet? I am too. So, yeah, today was bedroom spring cleanup day, and the result is a bedroom with fewer piles of toys on every available surface and fewer dust bunnies hiding in the dark corners (I even went bunny-hunting under the bed).
