Things are going all right. Trying to get some stuff wrapped up before I drive out to Los Angeles this morning. How are you?

How's the cold?

Sure does. That, or their willful ignorance.

That's scary.

How strict is the rationing? Man, that sucks.

Pretty bad drought in Australia right now, huh? I think I read that one of the major cities was rationing; is that right? Are people really worried about it?

That sucks. I sympathize, remembering my last cold. I live in the desert, so, yeah, I guess I shouldn't complain about rain, either. We've had impressive thunder and lightning, too.

It's pouring here, too. I'm supposed to go help this chick paint her living room, and I'm not looking forward to it. Got a cold?

This and that. What are you up to this weekend? Architecture in Helsinki for one thing, I see. Cool.

Hi.
