Green Christmas

Maybe not monetarily, but weatherwise it looks like a green Christmas this year.  It was 38 degrees and raining this morning and we should be in the forties before the day is over.  Welcome to the new normal.  The long range forecast is for cold weather by Christmas day, but no snow.   Meanwhile the vegtable deal seems stuck in reverse with little hope for improvement on too many items.  Lettuce is the chief offender, as the growers in Yuma seem to have forgotten the spanking they got last year.  Obviously one requirement for growers is a short memory, but this is ridiculous.  I guess there will be more bankruptcies and reorganizations by the time the Salinas deal begins next June.
