Rob's World

The thoughts of Robert Donahoo, former Las Vegas-Eldorado High School star of the 1980s, who is now based in Los Angeles, California.

And the rain keeps on coming down...

I have to tell you, folks... this is the most rain that I have ever seen. Some 14 inches of rain has fallen in Los Angeles over the past two weeks, and that is quite enough, don't you think? (and there is more on the way). It is a far cry from the wacky weather that I have seen in the past, such as the 1999 floods in Las Vegas and the 2003 hailstorm in the Watts portion of Los Angeles.

But 14 inches of rain? Holy cow.

If you are a fan of the San Diego Chargers, it is time to put the lightning bolts away for the next nine months. The Chargers, after coming from behind a 17-7 deficit, tied the game and put their game against the Jets into sudden-death overtime. San Diego missed a 40-yard field goal, and that gave the Jets new life, and they took advantage of that and won the game as time expired in the first overtime on a walk-off field goal (had the Jets not scored, a second OT would have been played, since it is true sudden-death in the post-season).

Good season for the Bolts... 12 and 4, which matches their best regular season record set in 1979 since the NFL went to a 16-game season format. Their best record in franchise history based on winning percentage is 12-2, but that was when they were in the American Football League.

My training classes for International Business was postponed this weekend due to the adverse weather conditions, so now the training finale has been moved back from February 5 to February 12. Upon completion of that, I will in all probability leave the bottled water industry once and for all. I am already planning a return to college (after 20 years of wasting my life away), so that is going to be a big thing for me, even moreso after the hell I went through over the past two-plus years.

Have a great week, everybody, and be safe if you are in any of this rainy weather.
