This tree, taken by the National Geographic folks, is 3200 years old. It had already been alive 1200 years when Jesus walked the Earth. It lives in Sequoia National Park in Southeastern California, or thereabouts. It’s been named “The President.” Not really sure if that’s the name I would have chosen for it. Or what it … Continue reading

I’ll Have My Coffee With Fog, Please
On July 4th, the colored cloud display and accompanying booms were quite splendid. It was touch and go. For a while there, the forecast was for clear skies. However, the fog rolled in and the tradition continued. I’ve been living with friendly fog since 1980 when I moved from the East Coast to the West … Continue reading I’ll Have My Coffee With Fog, Please

I could use a Cappuccino

Just crazy. I really don’t even know what’s covered or what’s not on my new plan (or even if I have a … Continue reading I could use a Cappuccino
Imagining Rain over Sunday Morning Coffee
I am imagining rain today….probably because people are talking about drought. It has been a lovely winter in Northern California. The nights have been chilly and clear or if there has been coastal fog (which the redwoods drink), it burns off early in the day. The days have been sunny with highs in the 50s … Continue reading Imagining Rain over Sunday Morning Coffee

Take your binoculars, as this area is also … Continue reading Requa Road Overlook
