We were in West Vancouver yesterday having lunch at Tom and Sheila's place. Tom was a student of Jim's in an SFU course and Jim encouraged him to publish the paper he wrote in the Huxley Annual. It was quite a thrill for Tom and coincidentally the copies came to his place yesterday when we were there. Jim's didn't arrive at our place...hopefully they will arrive today.
Meanwhile in Palm Springs, they got their first winter storm. This is the time of year when it happens so not such a bad time to be away although the weather has been great up to this point. These storms usually don't last too long but there were road closures and flooding.
Benjamin posted this photo of his back yard...looking more like what Vancouver has been lately!
From the local news:
A low-pressure system has brought the first storm of the year to the Coachella Valley. High winds and rain are expected throughout the valley. The storm moved through the Southland overnight and into Tuesday. It is bringing with it the possibility of up to 0.75" of rain for the Coachella Valley.
