Drove North to SF Bay Are Today

When the 5 of us left Santa Barbara it was about 75 Degrees Fahrenheit. By San Luis Obispo it was about 85 degrees. By Atascadero and Paso Robles it was 103 Degrees. By King City the temperature started dropping again to around 85 degrees. The northern Coast of California around SF averages around 10 degrees less than Santa Barbara so around 65 to 70 on Tuesday a lot of places.

Santa Barbara while we were there reminded me because of the humidity the most of the Hawaiian Islands in the Fall, Winter and Spring the most. They call Santa Barbara "The American Riviera" likely for this reason. But, my wife who grew up there said it was NEVER this humid when she was growing up it's all Global Warming happening to SB and everywhere else on earth.

Saw videos of the damage in the Bahamas and it reminded us of the utter devastation in the 2004 Tsunami in Indonesia that killed 250,000 people. You have to see it to believe it! Saw videos of people swimming with ropes tied to them in the Bahamas trying to not get washed away completely from the currents of the ocean surges across whole islands up to their chests or higher in the water all roped together just trying to stay alive another day at this point.
