We got strong winds & heavy rain at UCD today. Since we live 25 minutes from campus, I decided to give our freshman daughter a ride to her early morning class.
Now they got power outage & I heard they were dismissed early.
Drove around campus & saw some maintenance crews clearing fallen
branches & saw a few cops doing ...the rounds. Not many bikers today,
mostly students walking to class. Looks like UC Davis got everything
under control.Read More

Thank you for sharing this info. My son posted a picture of his roommate geared up for rain (almost looked like a halloween get-up).

Welcome. Today's a lot better. Yes,it's the season when hooded sweaters/jackets come in handy. Also gave her a piece of rag w/c she carries in her backpack so she can wipe her bike seat whenever it rains.

Monette de la Rosa My son finished his supply of Easy Mac and Instant Ramen in two weeks (yes, he has (is on) a meal plan/pass!). Any suggestions for healthier late night food (easy for teenagers to prepare in the dorm)?

Hi Tanna, we are taking my neice up next weekend to get settled into her dorm. From what I hear, there aren't any stores really close to campus like Walmart or Target, but if you have a car I don't think it's too far. I've never been there so I'll be exploring too. If you or your son need a ride to pick something up next weekend let me know, I'm sure we'll be going to pick up stuff for her room.
