Good riddance to another fossil fuel appliance!

This fossil fuel water heater was our last fossil fuel appliance - we replaced it with an electric heat pump water heater.

California's Santa Cruz County is developing a public transit system worthy of its notorious natural beauty. We're excited to be a part of it. The next improvements are coming in December.

Rode from to yesterday morning, about a 50 mile round trip. Perhaps not the most prudent thing to do, given that I’m doing a trail half marathon with nearly 4,000 feet of climbing next Saturday. Ah well, keep going until you can’t, right?

Tiny remnants of a hurricane in the sky today. Made it look awesome and big waves too.

At one time, I was trying to collect at least one painting from every coastal county in California. Matt Beard's pricing structure takes into account the number of miles he travels from home, the type of accommodations, and even if he encounters ticks or poison oak.
It's complicated.
So the further south the scene generally the more expensive. The SoCal pieces were the hardest for me to fill in.
This piece is named Escaping Santa Cruz Crowds: circa 1880.
It would have covered Santa Cruz County, but it didn't because it isn't mine.

@NorcalGma2 Love it! Based on the title and my memory of the coastline, it probably shows a view from Highway 1 north of where a fruit and honey vendor sets up shop by the side of the road. He puts out a hand-painted sign that reads “sweet cherries”. 😁

I really wish there was something like this in : Bike Church collective in , which welcomes people of all ages, abilities, gender, and color, with regular workshops on bike repair for everyone. Learned about this from the subrosa website. https://bikechurch.santacruzhub.org/used-bikes.html

Great privilege to visit the Centre for in earlier this week, and learn about all its great work over the last few decades, from first start-up to today’s real commitment to providing for students as well as employment and education work with local schools. Also really good discussion around in the context of AgroEcology. Thank you!

Walking through the neighborhood at dusk today, we saw a pair of Great Horned Owls on a telephone line. Photo is terrible, I know but… owls!

Just had to tell my visiting relatives to bring raincoats & jackets to visit in August-September, traditionally the hottest & driest months of the year.

Everybody else is boiling hot, we're cold.

Achievement unlocked: Three Burrito Meal Day

  1. Veggie breakfast burrito from Cat & Cloud (delicious!)
  2. Julio’s Burrito with tofu and vegetables from Little Tampico for lunch.
  3. Burrito salad for dinner. This is @Heather ‘s invention: an Amy’s bean and cheese burrito on a bed of lettuce with Tapatio and fat-free ranch dressing. Feels healthy ‘cause lettuce. Definitely filling.

I formally apologize to future me who will be dealing with the consequences.

Ok, no burrito ice cream for dessert, but look what Marianne’s is making today: flavor! Cinnamon caramel with snickerdoodle dough chunks. Pairs great with chocolate fudge!
