"California Department of Transportation, known as #Caltrans, said that the state had spent more than $370 million on fixing the #highway after #ExtremeWeather events in the past seven years….Building the road on unstable terrain took ingenuity. Fixing it in a world being rocked by #ClimateChange may take even more….There are more than 1,500 active slide areas in Big Sur.” nytimes.com/2025/05/23/us/paci

“The simple explanation is they are trying to meet a quota for the administration. We don’t know how they work. They use tactics that are meant to intimidate and instill fear for migrant communities. A lot of arrests...they don’t have warrants for them.”

A cool, foggy day on the cool, foggy coast with a bunch of boats and a bird (who was probably cool)

I liked this quite a bit, though I much prefer lighter whites these days. But the real issue for me would have been (not from my cellar)--this is over $100 online for this 2019. Newer years seem closer to $200. I just don't see going along with that program.  #wine #pasorobles #centralcoast

Painting vs. photo

This view of Big Sur is from a little rooftop cafe above a gift shop. I used to enjoy eating at the cafe with my mom and perusing the gift shop below afterwards. The photo was taken during one of those outings.

3/3 Under $90 then. The specialty bottlings are way more expensive these days. #wine #centralcoast #sinequanon #syrah

2/2

It showed well throughout the night, had good balance and concentrated fruit. It handled the 14.9% well. Spectacular at this point? Probably not. But well done.

The ancient Egyptian version of today's date seems awfully appropriate:
"First month of Inundation, day 13"
