I went for a walk around the block a few afternoons back. From the office window it looked nice and sunny. That was on one side of the building. I walked out into gloom and wind. But the glass covered buildings ahead reflected the blue sky behind me.
The rain started on my way back.
Del Cerro Park, at the top of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, on a super windy evening. I saw two tumbleweeds roll by, and kept worrying I’d drop my phone while taking pictures.
I need to get out here (and other scenic spots) more often. Even though it’s not that far (one of the great things about the LA area is how close it is to sea, mountains, deserts, forests and so on), it’s so easy to get caught up in the day to day grind that you forget to step out and visit what’s right there, on the other side of the traffic and smog.

A bit meta, since both the art and the logo depict a two tailed mermaid with a crown, and the two circular light sources in the piece resemble the circular light in the room and the logo itself.
Hiding the thirteenth floor by renumbering everything above 12 always seemed like a silly superstition…but then aren’t they all when you really think about them?
A tree in a city park, knocked down during a heavy storm.
What struck me most about the view from this side was the patch of sod hanging off of the exposed roots.
You can see where the first tree knocked over another tree.
Yes, one tree fell on another and knocked it down too. Or maybe one fell and then the other fell on top of it – it’s hard to tell, since we weren’t there at the time.
