Now Here's A Switch

Most Canadians are thoroughly exposed to American media and we're therefore quite used to Americans blaming cold, wet conditions on weather sweeping south out of Canada.

Oddly enough there are some Americans right now who are thrilled to be on the receiving end of Canadian cold wet. They're in southern California where there last measurable rain in Los Angeles fell on April 22.

Firefighters in the Southland area are hoping the area will get at least an inch of Canada's finest over the next two days to dampen the spreading brush fires.
