Windy and extra-nice this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — we set a temperature record yesterday (hottest on record for the day), but we way cooled today with some strong, refreshing gusts to keep the air from going hot on us.

Another end to another workweek this Friday evening here in California’s Central Valley, and a full week into a new month with a once new year spiraling along at such a quickened pace you just have to know you’re having an enormous shitload of fun — the only scientific measure of such high-speed time travel.…

Raining a bit this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — after an overcast sky for most of the day, the soft showers finally came just a while ago.
