The Big Stories
The ?news? sites are covering two extremely unusual events tonight.
The biggest story is the drenching California is getting from a ‘Pineapple Express’ which is good news, in that it will help to alleviate the drought conditions, but also bad news because the high winds are taking out power lines and the heavy rains are causing flooding. In essence they are getting months of normal rainfall in days.
I hope that people like Badtux, Jill, Ellroon, and skippy make it through the storm without major problems.
The other unusual story is that the House of Representatives actually did something that they have avoided doing and passed a continuing resolution to keep the government from shutting down. The bill now goes to the Senate which has been given two days to pass it and get it to the President.
The current House of Representative has done less than almost any other Congress in US history.
