The top news this week is California's Oroville Dam so it has its own category right at the top. More rain is supposed to fall in the Oroville area this weekend causing more alarm for residents. A mammoth storm is supposed to hit SoCal, however.
Despite all the graphic images I could post here I will go with two lighter ones: a T-shirt Mary Frances gave me for Valentine's Day and a cartoon from PHD Comics.
