What to Watch Today

  • Bridge lifts & horn salutes: listen for the three-long, two-short Ambassador Salute when ships greet the bridge.
  • Ship IDs: look for hull color, self-unloader booms, and crane count to tell Lakers from salties.
  • Wind & waves: easterlies kick up waves at the canal — dramatic entries & spray.

Wow, 61 degrees at the canal. I’m drooling. Sure is a pretty
afternoon with blue water. Just got back from a packed grocery
store. Just HAD to buy a watermelon. Not all that bad in the self
checkout. Have a nice evening.

We are blessed to have central air in our house.
Staying inside is best.

Oh yes…. We can’t install air conditioning because facade is protected.That’s why it’s a nightmare.

Hi TEA! Nasty heat dome. Have informed the cats and
Miss Bree we are not sitting on the back porch until the sun
goes down. They love being out there, watching birds, bunnies
and squirrels. Have several water sources available.

Over 100° here daily, our cats dont stay out long during the day and then later they lay in the wet dirt in the flower beds.

They are clever to lounge in the wet dirt!
Hope you are doing well!
