A #sewage leak of 20 million gallons of wastewater into a #ContraCostaCounty wetland could have considerable ecological consequences for fish & wildlife.

As Baykeeper executive director Sejal Choksi-Chugh explained to KQED, "When you’ve got a lot of this wastewater discharging in concentrated levels in an area like that, we’re going to see some exposure to chemicals that are in wastewater. That's going to have an impact; whether or not we see that impact in this generation of fish and wildlife or in their next generation is something that we would have to see." https://www.kqed.org/news/12016804/how-major-east-bay-sewage-leak-could-harm-fish-wildlife

#Election

Just got a notice from #ContraCosta that my Nov #Ballot is in the mail. 🙂

Good intentions but a late start on a hot afternoon lead to a shorter-than-anticipated #MTB ride at #MountDiabloStatePark

I explored some side trails and stopped for a shade and water break under a nice oak tree.

Photo of a mountain bike propped up against a street sign which says, "Mount Diablo State Park." A narrow asphalt road; hills with dry, yellow grass; green oak trees; and blue sky are also in the photo.

Photo looking up through dull green leaves on oak branches. Bright sunlight streams through the leaves and branches. Dry yellow grass, other oak trees, and blue sky are also visible. The photo was taken with a wide-angle lens which bends the corners of the photo into a circle.

Mt. Diablo Foothills

Caught this photo when I took a quick bike ride on Sunday afternoon to try a get a photo of the clouds. The cloud photos were tricky - I"m still playing around in the photo editing program to see if I can adjust something so that the photo looks more like what I actually saw...

Stay warm out there!

Photograph of some white ice scrapings above a windshield wiper. The reflection of some brown leaves are visible in the upper left corner of the windshield.

Good morning Fediverse!

I stopped off to grab a breakfast burrito on the way in to the office this morning. When I came out of the store, this shiny red Ford 1932 roadster hot rod was parked at the end of the parking lot.

I hope everyone has a sane week!
