Play At Home And Win!



Another beautiful day in the BFD!

Actually it's kind of overcast and cold. We even got some rain last night, a real gullywasher...

0.01 inches!

Truth be told, no one is complaining much about the unusually cool weather because everyone knows that in a manner of weeks this place will be an Easy Bake oven.


One of the local TV stations is even running a contest to guess the day we cross 100 for the first time this year. It only runs until May 30th because historically the city always breaks that temperature by June 1st.

Sometime in September they'll run another contest to guess the first day we drop BELOW 100 degrees. For the four months in between, Bako will resemble one of those desolate planets you see in SciFi films, a broiling wasteland incapable of supporting human life.

You have to be a legal resident of Kern County to win the contest, but if you're not, don't despair. As far as I'm concerned, if you aren't a resident of Kern County, you're already a winner!
