(01:16):
Sitting by the fire today,continuing to stay cozy on this
rainy day as I look out mystudio window into the beautiful
foothills of NorthernCalifornia.
It's not really raining.
It's just very overcast.
No rain yet, but I can onlyimagine that we may have some
today.
But um apparently there arethere is, I should say, more

(01:38):
rain to come.
We had a little uh brief respitefrom the uh storms.
But another one is set to hitCalifornia starting tomorrow.
I don't know where you'relistening, wherever you're
listening, thank you.
Got a message last night fromAlabama.
Listening in Alabama to my radioshow.
We did have a fun show lastnight.
Let's see, who was it?

(01:58):
Uh Kylie Brooks said uh Jack onthe iHeart app in Alabama called
to say great show tonight.
We had fun talking about thewatch list.
Uh 10 worst toys for the holidayseason.
Brought up a lot of memories.
We had a lot of great calls.
Uh but yeah, uh, so here we are.

(02:19):
It is that time of year.
Yeah, rain.
I love to see the rain comingin.
So we're expecting moretomorrow.
Um it's gonna soak much of thestate, they're saying, that have
already set Novemberprecipitation records.
So that's great.
Again, never take this forgranted, obviously, after all
the years of uh the drought.

(02:41):
Uh system expected to follow apattern similar to recent
storms.
So we'll get showers in the BayArea, then it'll hit SoCal.
Uh for the greatest rainfalltotals, they're saying rain
forecasts to reach San Franciscoabout midnight tonight.
Of course, we're gonna have ithere in the Sacramento area.

(03:02):
I'm sure to get it here in thefoothills for no doubt about it.
Saying the showers might linger.
Look at me, I'm like ameteorologist.
Meanwhile, these showers couldlinger through the afternoon.
Rainfall generally expected toremain below a quarter of an
inch here on the Pat's beefs364.
At least that's in the Bay Area.
But um, you know what?

(03:23):
There might be some highertotals tallied here.
Showers expected at SoCal.
Thursday afternoon, blah, blah,blah.
Not much snow in the Sierra,they're saying, though.
The bulk of the precipitation,or if you're really cool, you
say the precip.
Expected to remain along thecoast.

(03:45):
The moisture that does that doesreach the Sierra is probably
gonna fall, they say, is rainrather than snow below 7,000.
Uh, less than a half a foot ofsnow forecast along Interstate
80 over Donner Summit.
Wind's predicted to be light.
It'll be the last of a series ofstorms to hit California this
month.
The dry pattern begins thisweekend.

(04:06):
That's nice, right?
We get nice weather thisweekend, rain all week, then
nice weather over the weekend.
That's what they're predicting.
That'll continue throughThanksgiving.
That's right.
Next week, Thanksgiving.
Hope you heard my Thanksgivingspectacular yesterday.
That was fun.
Fog will probably begin tosettle, they say, in the valleys
in the morning, so look out inSacramento through the Central

(04:28):
Valley as well.
High elevation areas facingfreezing temperatures at night.
So stay bundled up.
You know what?
I I didn't want to get tooserious today about too much.
So if you don't mind, I thoughttoday would be, because it's a
good day for this.
I thought today would be a greatday for this day in music.
I always like talking music.

(04:49):
I think if I had my way, I'dtalk music all the time.
And I think uh if my listenershad their way that I'd talk
music even more often.
But I, you know, there's otherstuff that we get to.
But today, this is aninteresting day on the musical
front.
So I am gonna start right there,beginning in 2016, when a

(05:09):
furious letter from John Lennonto Paul McCartney and his wife
Linda was written after theBeatles breakup sold for nearly
$30,000.
This was to an anonymouscollector in Dallas.
The two-page typed draft withhandwritten notes, uh, where
it's Lennon criticizing thecouple for their treatment of

(05:29):
him and his wife, Yoko Ono.
The attack said to be inresponse to Linda's criticism of
him not publicly announcing hisdeparture from the band.
And uh that prompted John towrite this song off his uh album
there, song called Tight Ass.
So here you get on Pat's Peeps364.

unknown (05:51):
