The Bay Area is currently being hit by a series of massive winter storms. [livejournal.com profile] kshandra has pointed out this is not the best weather to be dealing with cardboard boxes and envelopes containing books. Mailings will resume when the weather clears, which should be Friday.

If you agreed to pay by money order please let us know if you need the address. The stuff going overseas will go out once we grab the customs forms.

Thanks again. We may stuff random freebies in with your order.

Working our way into a third year of drought, California was hoping and praying for significant rainfall. Well, we got it. Three storms have hit the Bay Area head on this week before heading off to (hopefully) supercharge the snowpack in the Sierra Nevada mountains (our main source of year-round water.) These storms have it all, high winds, torrential downpours, lightning, and just now, hail. The SFGate has a good round up of the events. I heard from the driver covering my route, he's getting 70mph gusts in the San Joaquin Valley. Suddenly, cabin fever doesn't seem like such a bad thing.

When I heard the hail start, I grabbed my camera (which really needs a new battery) and got a couple of pictures.

Well, hail!

Two more under the cut )

We've been lucky and haven't lost power. So far.

I think a bit of it is going on Gratuitous Space Battles.

They blow up real good. No plot. No diplomacy. Build ships. Give them orders. ATTACK!!!
