Up here, at 10:00am, it is 33 degrees. No snow yet, but I’m watching. I have a USFS announcement to post on that page, photos of the fuel mitigation project to post on that page, and a review of Big Sur’s newest radio station to post, but sluggish or non-existent Internet has made it all impossible, for now. If any of the information were critical, I would drive somewhere to get them posted, as I would with road closures or fires, but baby it is COLD outside. I’m not going anywhere, right now! UPDATE – USFS press release up on its page and photos up on the Fuel Mitigation page. That leaves only the radio review!

  • Awww, it's 33 degrees. It's just above freezing. Which means it's NOT freezing. I must confess it is reaching towards 50 degrees here--up from 17 degrees this morning. Keep warm, BSK.

  • Discretion better part of valor in not leaving the cozy for updates we can wait for. Radio station interesting...
    I can't claim a brag (it's warm and sunny in CV after early light rain) because I look out on a very likeable meadow, but it ain't a Big Sur star-scraping cliff. Enjoy the view. The cold will pass.

  • Looking forward to pics of the South Coast fuel mitigation project.
    I hear that crew is busting balls!
