Achtung Gruppe!

Those of you still here
have undoubtedly noticed my relatively conspicuous absence
and that many of the sorts of things that I faithfully
posted here for years from On This Date In California
Weather History to the News & Notes Updates to hazardous
weather bulletins to topical articles have been largely
absent from this online community the past several months
aside from Lin Kerns and a few others to a lesser extent.
First off: a shout-out goes to Linsis and the others who
have continued to contribute here, especially Linsis.

The reason for this has
been my being so very busy with full-time status at Cal Poly
SLO, including a summer class. I have also been busy with
work as a security guard when not in class on Fridays &
weekends. Aside from that, by getting behind I then feel
overwhelmed and not motivated to get caught up when I do
have spare time to at least chip away on what I want to post
here.

That being
said, I have not held back on Twitter which as a social
networking platform is much more user-friendly from both the
posting and browsing user ends. California Disasters is now
up to 598 followers on Twitter. I initially chaffed at the
idea of ever using Twitter and ignored it for a time. Former
member/moderator Gene Salvetti was the first to push for my
using it. Eventually I caved in a couple of years ago and
now that is my favorite platform for California Disasters
and the only one I have maintained full-throttle. If any of
you still here on Yahoo Groups (which is in rapid decline as
is Yahoo generally) faithfully following this group I
implore you to join Twitter and follow California Disasters
there if you have not done so already. If you are
uncomfortable with change and feel resistant, then I
lovingly challenge you to get out of your comfort zone and
try something new as I did. You will not be disappointed.


We are on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/CalDisasters

Aside from that, I
promise to start posting here more often. I shall do this
until I can no longer or it appears everybody here has left
or Yahoo Groups shuts down this group or all its groups
which is probably coming at some point. Technology and
trends change over time! Remember the days a decade ago when
SoCalFire was the bees knees and even NorCalFire was busy in
summer? Now it seems only this group and SoCalScan and
BayScan (a.k.a. Flamescan and its menagerie of curious
characters) endure albeit with the warp drive mains offline
and now under impulse power only.

Out of morbid curiosity, how many of you
are still here? This is official roll-call time!
