Uffda! It's unseasonably cool here in the SoCal desert also - supposed to be mid 60's today, when the norm for this date is close to 80! Wifey always checks the Fargo weather in tandem with Minneapolis to see how it might be in the Melrose, MN area - from whence she emanated.
Recycling - I often wonder about the value, since we now have three belching (and oil leaking) trucks to collect the garbage....Regular, recycle, greens/yard clippings.
