"The House of Mouse: Bob Iger and the Fight for the Soul of Disney" (aka Bob Vs Bob) book is coming soon.

I keep saying to people how the "Disney War" book of the 2020s will be an amazing read. I think this book is too soon as the story is still playing out. Can't wait to see all the behind the scenes things going on in the company from the last few years.

I so appreciate that you guys are not political. The Florida section of this forum can’t help themselves and it’s god awful. Just people at each other’s throats, people with superiority complexes, etc.

The administrators keep making threads about DeSantis and it’s like, bro, dawg, bruh, Pollywogs, you’re actively tearing your community apart. Post your stupid news but don’t make threads about it…like most forums!

It's been a cold, gloomy, depressing 2023 in Los Angeles. Really hoping things improve.

They will! You can't stop the planet from tilting on its axis towards the sun this time of year. Every day the Northern hemisphere is getting longer days and more full sunshine. By July it will be 95 in LA, I'm sure of it.

But it wasn't just SoCal. The entire Western half of North America had a winter colder than normal, and California was one of the coldest parts of that general cold trend.

Here's the mean temp departures from normal averaged out for the last 7 and a half months, since October 1st 2022. The blue shades is unusually cold, and the purple is off the charts cold that is historically hard to fathom. Much of SoCal is in purple for the year.

The entire state was much, much colder than normal this past fall and winter, and now into this spring. Which explains the record-setting amount of snowpack in all of California's mountain ranges. But you can't stop the earth from tilting! Summer is on the way soon!

My deck is currently 91.4, and our apartment is 84.2 inside. Currently crying. I prefer the cold :cry:

That's very hot for lower B.C.! Especially because lots of homes there still don't have AC. Go out to dinner tonight, that always helps!

I got an unexpected video call from my nephew near Seattle this weekend. He and his wife were out barbecuing on their deck for the first time since last September, and he had to show me. I played along as if I was really excited for them. 🤣

Totally, we haven't set up our A/C yet, we were away this weekend, and we leave on vacation Saturday...

And I can definitely understand the excitement of your nephew. We LIVE for the firsts of the warm season when it gets nice, that is for sure!

But then we realize what is happening to us, and start to hiss at the sun 😅

It's a love/hate relationship.

I just checked.

Right now nearing 5pm Pacific Time, it's 86 degrees (30 Celsius) in the leafy suburbs of Vancouver, B.C., and south of the border (twice) on the beach in Ensenada, Mexico it is currently 64 degrees (17 Celsius).

At Disneyland right now it is 74 degrees (23 Celsius). That one actually sounds lovely.

What did CA or Mexico do to make the weather gods angry enough to send the heat to us? 😅

Haha, thank you for confirming I'm not crazy! And I appreciate the optimism; intellectually, I know summer will arrive eventually, but sometimes I worry. One of my buddies from NY visited me in LA last week and it was 4 days of gloom. Such a bummer.

Miscellaneous thought --

I strongly prefer Disneyland's Haunted Mansion to Magic Kingdom's in essentially every way, but I really like this guy and kind of wish he had a presence in the Disneyland version. I really dig how, like, not subtle his portrait is, haha.

I'm unfamiliar with that character. Is he new in the WDW mansion?

He's certainly not the type of gentleman I would accept a drink from, that's for sure.
