Yesterday's weather

Yesterday the weather here in the San Francisco Bay Area was as close to perfect as one would be likely to find anywhere, anytime.  After the previous day's thunderstorms, the air was crisp, and visibility was so clear that you could see for tens of miles in every direction from our high vantage point. I am sure that the air quality must have been one for the record books in terms of purity.

Meanwhile, up in Seattle, they have had continuous rainfall for twenty-seven days, which if uninterrupted for the next six, will result in the toppling of the previous record for the longest period of unceasing rainfall, and possibly also the record for the largest volume of precipitation. My Seattleite friends must be growing gills by now.

Yesterday was my brother-in-law's birthday, and we were invited to his home in the East Bay for dinner, an event attended as well by his children, their spouses and their children, some of them mere toddlers.
