Oh yeah, it's been crazy stormy all up and down the west coast.
Howling winds and heavy rain here in Portland but the worst of it hit
northern California. My niece and her boyfriend are up here for a
visit. They left the bay area yesterday evening and drove all night
to get here this morning. I worried all night but the timing actually
worked out perfectly with the mountain passes being pretty clear for
the first time in weeks and no black ice like we've been having. She
was a nervous wreck but made it here just fine. They're sleeping
now...

Did your sister have to wait it out in Phoenix? The worst of the
storm hit in her area of the Sierras...I think they even closed the
roads up there and told people to stay away.

Interesting. I didn't know they made an Ozzie version. Didn't
realize there were any fat people in Australia, LOL. Is it on the
game show network? That one's not in my dish line-up but I'd like to
have it.

My Australian friend always talked about her weight measured in
stone. Kilograms are hard enough to try to translate in to pounds but
whenever she'd tell me she was up to 9 stone or whatever the number
was, I'd break out in a cold sweat all over again trying to comprehend
it!
