A lonely, misty stretch of northern California coast, March 1984.

The spring following my Appalachian Trail hike, I took a long bus ride to Seattle, where I rented an economy car and drove down the Pacific Coast Highway and sometimes even smaller coastal roads to San Francisco.

On a grassy, scrub-covered cliff above a secluded bay filled with offshore rocks known as sea stacks. Several are rather large. Beneath an overcast sky on a rainy day, the sun breaks out for a few minutes. The foam of breaking waves is dazzling in the sunshine. The rest of the ocean is a deep blue gray. Through a thin lingering haze we can see the rugged seacliffs topped with forest at the far end of the bay. There are some groves of trees on the gentler slope leading down to the sea at the bottom of our cliff.

A devastating incident unfolded on a #California beach in the United States as an Indian-American lost his life while rescuing his 13-year-old son from treacherous waters.

[Cassavell] It continues. The Padres’ recent form: L-W-L-W-L-W-L-W-L. Each of those last four losses came with the offense scoring precisely one run — a day after it had scored five-plus. Consistent in their inconsistency, at least. https://www.rawchili.com/2921437/

While fascist hatemonger Ron #DeSantis is kidnapping human beings and trafficking them across state lines to #California, similar stunts he pulled last fall may be slowly catching up to him.

The Sheriff and DA in Bexar County, #Texas are pursuing criminal charges over a previous kidnapping perpetrated by DeSantis in September 2022. In that event, DeSantis lured dozens of migrants from Texas onto an airplane under false pretenses and abandoned them in Martha's Vineyard.

It sounds like the #DinkeyCreekBridge over #DinkeyCreek in #California is going to be salvaged and rebuilt at some point in the next few years. It's on the national register of historic places and connects the two sides of #CampFresno together.

I'm amazed it hasn't washed downstream yet considering how much water is pumping down Dinkey Creek from all the snow melt.

#Agriculture uses 80% of #ColoradoRiver water annually, and alfalfa hay is responsible for over a third of that.

In 2020, 40% of #California's alfalfa was shrink-wrapped, containerized, and shipped overseas.

"A century-old legal doctrine compels farmers to use as much river water as they’re allotted, or else lose access to the unused portion in the future. That perverse incentive... means that wasteful irrigation methods have not gone out of fashion."

I expect #RonDeSantis to make hay over big insurers stopping underwriting new home insurance policies in #California.

I also expect that #Florida is heading for its own reckoning with home insurance policies as hurricanes in the Gulf continue to worsen due to #ClimateChange.
