 Seems it never rains in Southern California
Seems I've often heard
that kind of talk before
It never rains in California
But, girl, don't they warn ya
It pours, man, it pours.
- Albert Hammond, “It Never Rains In
Southern California,” 1972
It’s true, it seems it never does rain in Southern California, or at least not in the past four years during which we’ve seen a record-breaking dry spell. It’s been so dry that during one year-long stretch, from July 1, 2006, to June 30, 2007, it rained only 2.43 inches in Los Angeles.

 Larry King has made it official. Black people are "in." (Full disclosure: I thought the term "in" went out with "with it," "groovy," and "keen;" then again, Larry King still wears striped-red suspenders.)
Still, the point is well taken: Yay for melanin! Pigmentation is darned neat! I couldn’t agree more. And if Larry says it’s true for humans, I’m just hoping we can spread the love in the canine direction. Read on…

 Environmental policy has always been complicated. It’s not easy to find a balance between using natural resources to provide the things people need—like jobs, food and housing—and protecting the natural world for its own sake. But some White House residents were downright anti-green. Here are EcoHearth's picks for the least ecological presidents. (Two of them, incidentally, appear in the photograph that illustrates this piece.) Read on...
