Rain and a Tiger

The Air Quality Index reads 19 which is fantastic.  All the smoke pollution from the Butte County Fire has been washed away and I look forward to running in the rain by the Pacific Ocean.  I found this marvelous photo of a Tiger in the online Deutsche Welle site. A beautiful animal which protects its territory come rain or shine.

Thanksgiving and What’s Next

The weather is perfect in San Francisco. Cool, blue skies, breeze and clean air.  Once the holiday is over I am looking forward to reading “Night of Camp David,” by Fletcher Knebel. It was originally published in 1965 and has just been reissued. The 1965 novel was very prescient and a cautionary tale about a potential future President.  Guess, what? It’s all come true with The Trumpster.  Finally, today is the 55th anniversary of President Kennedy’s assassination.

 

My First Entry

This is my initial post.  I follow world events closely from my perch overlooking the Pacific Ocean in San Francisco. Amazingly, San Francisco has been designated the most polluted City on the Planet as a result of the nearly two weeks old fire 200 miles north of The City in Butte County. The Air Quality Index (AQI) has been dismal and we are looking forward to the soon to commence rain. Despite the admonitions to limit physical exertion I have continued to ride my bike and run in the Park overlooking the local shoreline.
