Orange dreamsicles!

Here is another beautiful photo of some frozen oranges in California. It's from this MSNBC (AP) article about the cold snap in California destroying a large part of the citrus and other crops. I think the article says something about the trees being irrigated by spraying them. Obviously that's what creates the "orange dreamsicles." I assume the icicles from the irrigation water would damage the plants faster. It also mentions that Governor Schwarzenegger asked the federal government for disaster relief money. It's going to be harder to get oranges, orange juice, etc. What a depressing thing!

The temperature is dropping here. I do not like the cold. I will be very happy when it gets a little warmer. I'm not very happy when it's very hot, either. What I'd really like to do is just get some sleep. It's particularly appealing to sleep when I am at work with back to back calls! During the week 9-5 pm the call volume is very mellow. There is a new call center taking a lot of our calls. After 5 pm and on Saturday we get slammed! *Sigh* It all stinks, really.
