No clue. Somewhere along the coast out there? Beautiful photo. Heavy fog cover it looks like. What's that pole thing sticking up? We got rain today...most of the day. Rare event for us the past few years. I remember years ago we would get three or four days sometimes where it stayed rainy. Has turned dry again overall the past few years. I don't know if the predictions of a global cooling coming will pan out. There is good evidence and some good science behind it. Associated with a cooling climate is less rainfall generally. For us that would be devastating. We are in the zone between desert and arable land. In the 80's and 90's it was actually rather wet in the central part of the state. In the '40's too. This valley where I live raised most of the pinto beans for the nation back then. Was called the bean capital of the country. The local high school had as their mascot the pinto bean. Fortunately for the kids' sakes eventually they gave up the sack of pinto beans and went to a pinto horse which the older folk went along with as the word at least preserved the proud memory of the glorious pinto bean and wetter days. As if all of this isn't OT enough, here's a humorous listing of some of the most politically incorrect sports team names around the country. I like the corn jerkers and the Alabama School of the Deaf Silent Warriors. egriz.com ./ . How did we get from beautiful clouds/fog to this? I dunno. lh

And they used to call this place paradise. Not so much anymore. The California politicians have totally screwed this place over. Code Brown: California Poo Situation Upgraded To 'Hot Diarrhea' Attacks; Urinating In Public OK While San Francisco pays six-figure poop patrollers to keep up with the city's fecal fiasco, Los Angeles may have to start handing out plastic ponchos. Poo attack victim Heidi Van TasselAccording to NBC Los Angeles' 'Streets of Shame' series, a homeless man randomly pulled a woman out of her car and hit her with a hot diarrhea attack. A night near the Hollywood Walk of Fame would change a woman's life, as she was getting into her car and a homeless man sprinted across Hollywood Boulevard toward her. Heidi Van Tassel was parked in Hollywood after having a pleasant evening out with friends at an authentic Thai restaurant. Suddenly a man randomly pulled her out of the car, dragged her out to the middle of the street, and dumped a bucket of feces on her head, Van Tassel said and public records confirm. "It was diarrhea. Hot liquid. I was soaked, and it was coming off my eyelashes and into my eyes," she told NBC. "Paramedics who came to treat me said there was so much of it on me, that it looked like the man was saving it up for a month." "It was all inside my car because it was so much. He just kept pouring it and splattering it all over me." While Heidi is now getting tested for diseases every three months and has PTSD, her attacker was arrested, charged with battery, and found mentally incompetent to stand trial. He is now back on the street. Meanwhile to the North, San Francisco's incoming district attorney Chesa Boudin said upon his Saturday night election victory: "We will not prosecute cases involving quality-of-life crimes. Crimes such as public camping, offering or soliciting sex, public urination, blocking a sidewalk, etc., should not and will not be prosecuted." "Many of these crimes are still being prosecuted, we have a long way to go to decriminalize poverty and homelessness," he added, according to the Daily Caller. About Boudin - per the Caller: Boudin’s parents were members of the Weather Underground domestic terrorist group. Boudin “was raised in Chicago by Weather Underground leaders Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn” after his parents were sent to prison on murder charges while he was a toddler, NBC News noted. Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders cheered Boudin’s victory in the election. “Now is the moment to fundamentally transform our racist and broken criminal justice system by ending mass incarceration, the failed war on drugs and the criminalization of poverty,” the Vermont Sen. wrote on Twitter Saturday, congratulating Boudin on his “historic victory!” Now is the moment to fundamentally transform our racist and broken criminal justice system by ending mass incarceration, the failed war on drugs and the criminalization of poverty. Congratulations @chesaboudin on your historic victory! https://t.co/2CiM1sFo5c — Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) November 10, 2019 zerohedge.com
