of course you must live in fear of the earthquakes, mudslides, and your state's inevitable declaration of bankruptcy... but no, no one will confuse you with Paddington Bear.
Not true! It was raining cats and dogs for a good straight week here and it was wretched! All the streets flood because they're not designed to handle rainfall and no one knows how to operate an umbrella, let alone drive when it's not sunny.
There are only two possible messages. The first is an automatic response to the second and the second is an automatic response to the first. The first is, "Here I am, here I am, here I am." The second is, "So glad you are, so glad you are, so glad you are." (Kurt Vonnegut, The Sirens of Titan)

Just the other day we had the same sort of incident with my mother.
Luckily, Paddington Bear is adorable.

I could only find the live version, but along with"California Stars" it's my LA favorite.
