Nah, that’s an elective. Certainly a plus for its representation of a dynamic process, but not mandatory. The main pre-req is Nuh-uh 101.

Got some early cloud cover today. Took Wonder to her fav lake and she had a fine time. I love the warm air, but really appreciate the clouds; sun can be brutal at this altitude.

We gots pelicanz! Saw five white pelicans while walking Wonder (the dog) around a small lake. Hard for me to understand how they can make a living here … this lake is at about 7500’ altitude and 75% of it is too shallow for a pelican to dive in. Yet, they look real healthy …

Russian “schooling” tops out with an intensive course called “I know you are but what am I?”

You don’t expect to be doing zero radius donuts on the street do you?

Wow, I almost forgot about the “dittoheads”! That whole paradigm has been carried so far now, it’s easy to retain the impression that Trump invented Stoopid, rather than what he really invented. He invented the way to sell Stoopid as virtuous. That technique involves being so Stoopid that it...

Weather is a bitch. But kudos to the farsighted visionaries who raised it 10m! Because “climate has always changed”. And who knows? If a big asteroid fell into the Indian Ocean and evaporated it, or ejected enough water, sea levels could plummet and the whole Santa Monica pier could end up on...

Get weather insurance. Nothing worse than getting to a destination and huddling in a hotel, hoping to weather the storm and still get in a dive before plane time. Personally I’d love to dive the high rise sites; all those large structures could be a unique haven for marine life.

They’ll just build upon the existing structure. Raising it a foot or so every ten years should work for a while … as long as Swiz pays his taxes. And it will also have to get longer, to the benefit of everyone! :)

If Santa Monica temperatures rise 1 degree in a century, that will be its “unprecedented rate”. So yeah, why bother? And they can just put in a layer on top of the existing pier if the ocean come up too far. In fact it’ll be okay unless the whole thing slides into the channel in a biggie...

Started this thread as a home for local weather reports. We have had a fairly nice (by Santa Monica standards), last few weeks. Highs in the 80s and lows in the high 50s. Rain for a few minutes most afternoons… all seasonal normalities. I work around the place early, swim in the heat of the day...

His self confidence is at 1 And his insecurity is at 9. He is trying to normalize the habit representing losing as winning as long as you can say I told you so. “They always cheat” - The usual Trumpist projection/admission.

Dang! Britney Griner should have thought of that.

Meh. It's not too late to Trump to discover the dems cheated in the setup and announce to The Faithful that their clever plot was uncovered and THEY WILL PAY, but "I will not participate in this Democrat scam!" I am a bit surprised that he hasn't called it off already, but I still estimate the...

Really? Sounds like a medical issue. Many of us witnessed a live event where there were 140 law enforcement officers injured or killed, and an executive officer of the United States forced to flee for his life from the mob’s makeshift gallows. Was there a BLM event to rival that? Please do...

I find it a stretch to think thousands of people will show up at the Capitol to prevent certification of the election if Biden wins. It didn’t work out well for the participants in the last exercise in stupidity. Rather, I expect a rash of violent “lone wolf” type incidents against various...

Oxymoron of the month.

Worried that Sleepy Joe might lose Iowa? Oh NOOoooos!! Or are you just elated that Trump will probably win Iowa? I gotta wonder what you were predicting for Iowa 2 years ago when Trump announced his candidacy. Most of us already knew it was “Trump Country”.

… is an honorable cultural practice that pre-dates all your kid glove treatment of the west’s wussy “soldiers”. Russian soldiers die. Especially the ones on the top and the ones on the bottom of the pecking order. It’s their job.

There is no level below lettuce that needs consideration. The distance from current to lettuce is not great enough to sustain a prolonged drop.
