80g of saffron? In this economy? 😆

"The Problem" It's no longer surprising, but always still shameful and appalling to witness.

Climate change is messing up your transit.

I guess I haven't clicked around enough in some of the gallery recently, I didn't realize so many spots now have a 360-degree view.

Just saw a NWS heat alert "temperatures will be in the mid 90s to mid 100s". My brain interprets "mid 100s" as ~140-160 🌡️

"Vacances ... plus près, moins cher… et le plus loin possible des canicules !" pretty much sums up my personal adventure goals this summer. But I just looked at the forescast for an upcoming camping trip and it's supposed to be 95-100F every day, and above 55 every night. 😭🥵

I deleted a bunch of ios apps to try to downsize some of the storage hogs on my phone., including bluesky. And while I do sometimes use a laptop browser, 95% of my use is via the phone app (and all my photos are on the phone). Might leave it off for awhile, to see how my usage shifts...🤔

Some post-sunset views along the shoreline last night.

I am going through storage usage on my phone, to inform minimum specs for a new one. It's just bizarre the bloat that goes along with so many basic apps. Safari is using up >2GB! And bluesky is using just as much. Even ebird is 1GB. My biggest usage is photo & video, which is my space priority.

Wow

Apparently waymo can't tell the difference between SFO dropoff curb and a residential neighborhood. www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/s...

San Bruno neighbors say Waymos have left people traveling to SFO on their streetAfter reports of stranded passengers and vehicles blocking driveways, Waymo said Thursday night that it was "able to remedy the situation."www.nbcbayarea.com

Cool idea, and mixes well with putting some responders on foot and bike. This also reminded me of the scene from I 💙 Huckabees, where the firefighter on a bicycle arrives at the fire first, because the firetrucks were stuck in traffic. I love that scene! 😆

I realized recently that thanks to my gradually expanding use of outdoor-related apps (mostly community science) I'm now spreading not just georeferenced data about my excursions but detailed time & date info. 🤔🌐📍 How do other folks balance your interest in contributing with privacy?

@xenolith.bsky.social @coconinoite.bsky.social @christinatoms.bsky.social @elizabethh.bsky.social & others! We had some discussion earlier this year about a 2027 marin headlands wildflower outing? Do we want to have a planning chat in a more easily trackable space?

Make sure to let your student & ECR colleagues know to apply asap to participate! Space is apparently limited.

AGU26 abstract deadline is coming up fast! Help get the word out about work being done on development of standards for field equipment operations -- or make the case for the need for new standards in hydrology, seismology, or near-surface geophysics.

This was a very interesting discussion/interview, glad I got to listen. Added the book to my TBR list on water issues.

Wow, that is far worse than I realized. If you are up that way, crank up the air filters, and don't forget your masks 😷 Not a great to happen during the upcoming heatwave, where a t folks will want/need to open windows to try to cool things down.
