It Does Rain In Southern California

At 7:20am on 12/12/14 ... I put my empty rain barrel under a low point in our rain gutter. In 15 minutes it had filled & I emptied the 2 smaller containers into my almost-dry 2nd rain barrel. (This is what I use for my house plants all year.)

Question: How do I move this now???   

Think I'll turn an old worn doormat upside down, put ropes on it & drag this to the drying yard. It would spring leaks if we just dragged the barrel.

Where's the Flash?

Still trying to see the illusive Green Flash in Del Mar this fall!
