Sorry, I'm terrible at small talk and it doesn't take much to get me suspicious. Don't apologize for my own pseudo-social (since this is teh interwebz) shortcomings.

California can't seem to make up its mind on whether it's going to be hot and dry, hot and windy as hell, or freezing cold. Wildfires in my county aren't helping the matter much either; every morning my father's vehicle is covered with a new layer of ash.
