Today’s walk had a balmy, tropical feel to it given that it was 63 degrees and 91% humidity. The air still smells of smoke from the wildfires but at least the air quality has gone almost back to normal range. My heart goes out to our neighbors to the north, east and south of us …

There is an eerie feeling and mood in the air today. Early morning fog combined with the environmental affects of the wild fires to the south and east of us have created a strange orange and gloomy glow. A light coating of ash continues to rain down on us and the sun is blood red. …
We live in the quiet part of town, two blocks from the beach with no ocean view. In general our street is very quiet except for locals and tourists walking by or the lost ones driving by looking for beach access. This past Labor Day weekend turned into a chaotic mess as folks took to …
Baxter and I had a quiet morning on the headland. Signs of Fall are all around. Sigh...I’m personally going to hold out thru Sept 22; hanging onto every ounce of summer. We have high temps forecast for the holiday weekend which usually translates into large numbers of folks seeking refuge on the coast.... This weekend …

I started this blog because I wanted an outlet but also to keep an electronic journal. To me, Facebook algorithms are nonsensical and almost like posting …
We are having an incredible month of August (Northern Coast of California). The weather has been amazing with the ocean and bay FLAT for about 6 weeks now. Talk about an August rush! Yes there have been mornings with early fog (and many without; see yesterday’s post) but once the fog clears, our days have …
Stunning is the word that comes to mind when I describe our walk today and the day that follows. It is a picture postcard kinda morning; sunny, 68 degrees, and no wind. The sound effects on the headland today were awesome. A herd of California Sea Lions were barking on the rocks below the trail. …
What an effective pair, road work and fog. If you’ve been following my blog you know that like many people I walk for health reasons but also to seek solitude. It gives me a chance to think and to also still my mind of all the craziness in our world. Today’s walk was awesome because …

I believe things happen for a reason. About 3 years ago while completing my walk on Trinidad Head I met an older woman who gave me some health advice. She stopped me as I was exiting the headland and said, “when you get home, elevate your legs above your heart for 15 minutes. I know …
