Ted, have you heard what's going on in Laguna Beach right now? Hillslides are destroying several multimillion dollar homes. It was on the local news almost every night, right up there with the MJ "trial of the century."

This year's record rainfall contributed to the mudslides, but of course Laguna Beach residents are pretty convinced that too much construction helped destabilize the geology. So how much of this was man-made and how much of this was Mother Nature? That depends on way too many things, more than what pissed-off residents and CYA politicians care about.

And hey, who knows? Maybe this year's record rainfall is also man-made, if you buy my theory that global warming helped shift the weather patterns across the West Coast?

I could go on and on, but you get my point. Seems like anything's possible, but nothing's for sure.
