2 AM awake
Awake, asleep, and awake
Foghorn on the Bay
There’s no sky today in San Francisco, just fog. Outside, buses and dogs and flowers are memory-distant.
I’ve never heard the Bay foghorn from my bed. I happened to wake at the right time.
My dad was raised on Lake Michigan, in a town of car-ferries and shipping. He is a connoisseur of foghorns, from the old BE-OH to the new less macho (but further-carrying) OOOOP. I woke up happy. His sounds of home have become my sounds of home.

Rory has more information at Library Juice and you can read this earlier post concerning the controversy regarding Elsevier’s involvement in “organizing weapons trade shows attended by representatives of the world’s militaries.” They got pressured, people sent a petition. They backed down. I think this is sort of good news.

I have very very mixed feelings about this library staffer no-confidence petition. On the one hand, it’s a pain when management moves in and shakes things up with no regard for staff or patron input or impressions. On the other hand, who cares if the library has a lot of copies of Jackass 2? I hear it’s funny. And, if people want to watch it, what is wrong with that? We get into big big trouble when we start talking about “good books” versus “other books” especially if we think the library should only have the former and not the latter. I think instead of an “I read banned books” I need an “I read trashy genre fiction and USA Today and I’m a librarian” t-shirt. John Blyberg has more to say.

really intense rainbows! So I guess the pot of gold is underwater, eh?
Doug: Heh! The waters are shallow. I guess I should have tried for it. : )
A double rainbow no less. Great pics.
Wow! I’m jealous, Paula. All we’ve sported here for the last few days are dreary grey skies!…and today, lots and lots of rain!
Are these shots taken from Swanter Park?, Ropes Park? Palmetto Park?…I think they are too close a proximity to have been from Cole, but perhaps my memory is failing?
Beautiful images, thanks for sharing (it gives me hope here!)
Thanks, Jazz!
Deb: I think it was at Palmetto Park, which is closest to the house. I had cycled there to see if I could get pics of the red tide but instead there was this astounding rainbow! Several people stopped in to take a gander and some pics. Of course, I played with the photo some (upped the saturation), but it’s not that far off. The sun was hitting the grass there to make it look like golden fire. And today, finally, the humiditiy is low and it’s dry and cool. Perfect weather. Sorry. : P I’ll be complaining myself soon enough.
I well remember how the sun used to set the dry grasses of the fall and winter afire…or, at least, gave off that appearance. What a lovely photo, so intense!
The red tide strikes again?, huh…
After over 24 hrs. of nonstop pounding rain, we are left with a cool, humid, very grey day. Sadly, many of the beautiful fall foliage was pounded down with the driving rains…very short lived!
Glad you are having comfortable weather there in CC.
Wow! Those colours are amazing!x
