Our Southern California weather is a funny thing... You might already be laughing and asking yourself, "Weather? You have weather?!?" Contrary to popular belief, it does drizzle rain in Southern California. And snow. And earthquake. Don't worry. We know earthquakes aren't weather. But, you've got to give us Californians something. We've been orphaned by Mother Nature...we don't have much. And, we have to admit, we do get slightly jealous of all these so called, "Snow Days" ... VIEW POST

Whatever the case, we like to stretch the learning out a bit beyond the 100th Day and keep things as status quo as possible around this time of year.
