Every time I pass the C&H factory on Interstate 80 I think the same thing: "What's up with Crockett?"
I finally dropped in last week, and it exceeded expectations.

Political travel woes in NY from @boreskes
“He described feeling a sense of embarrassment — the kind that only New Yorkers know — when his luggage slowed his passage through a subway turnstile and elicited frustrated stares from commuters.”

“We hit a drone this afternoon — first one,” said L.A. County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone. “Our Super Scooper hit a small drone.”
The incident occurred over the Palisades fire Thursday.
“It put a hole in the wing,” he said. “It’s grounded now.” latimes.com/california/story…

From the flats, the flames at higher elevations can seem far off and like “somebody else’s Los Angeles, where things burn down all the time,” Waldie said.
But that paradigm was upended Tuesday, as a wide swatch of lower elevation Santa Monica was put under an evacuation warning.

As the new year approaches, the already remarkable season-to-date "precipitation dipole" in California has further intensified. Much of SoCal has still not received meaningful rain this season, while NorCal continues to get soaked on a recurring basis. #CAwx #CAwater #CAfire
ALT Map from ClimateToolbox.org depicting season to date precipitation anomalies across California. Northern California has very large positive (wet) anomalies, and Southern California very large negative (dry) anomalies.

How come the naming convention for some CSU campuses is "place name state" (San Francisco State, Fresno State) and for others it's "cal state place name" (Cal State L.A., Cal State East Bay) ?
