Rain

Recent trip to the coast yielded some stragglers! These 3 sea lions were perfectly content chilling on the dock. Except maybe that old one. He was really peeved he had to make room for the 3rd one.
Barnacles! Imagine you are a tiny crab and how treacherous this landscape would seem!


It has been raining heavily here. Just last week the rivers crested and much of the town was interrupted by newly formed waterways. I have gotten used to the heavy fog, the ever-present clouds, but rain has actually been pretty hard to come by until last week. We had shortened days and the school had to close on Friday although me and some people still came in to work on other things. Screwed up my whole week!
Anyways, I hope it stops soon. It would be nice to walk between classes and not get wet!
Oh here is a cool blog post by someone about "patient zero." You know, the ONE person authorities try and pin an outbreak on. It's not nice to the person but it is useful to narrow down the Where and How.
