Duncan!!! Hi!!! Twin Peaks is the highest point in San Francisco, at almost a thousand feet above sea level. I can see the ocean from down the street, and it is only a few miles away, so it is a pretty steep rise from the ocean to here. So even a tsunami could not really blow me away. A few houses around here are threatened by mud slides, however. It is a very hilly area, with houses terraced on hillsides, and quite a few on them constructed on poles sunk into bedrock. Some of these building styles seem precarious, especially since the climate seems to be changing permanently. It is the 190th day of rain this season today, however, and that makes a record since conquering peoples started living here and keeping the measurements. There was thunder here an hour ago that was louder than any I have ever heard in my life. I almost hid under a table! And after the tornado that swept through the Silicon Valley a couple of weeks ago, who knows what will happen next? Are you spending all your time outside in bermuda shorts, incinerating beef chubs on the barbie? It has been so wet here that I have not had to water the garden yet, and it will soon be June. Of course, a bargain water bill is no big deal since it is so cold I need to turn the heat on!!! Unfortunately, even though California is now the world's eighth largest economy, and is one of the most beautiful places on earth, the future looks grim unless we solve global warming. I would not want to live here in the next century: sfgate.com
