the sunsets are nice, but...

Sunset over the Pacific. It's still the wrong ocean, facing the wrong way.

Another December sunset.

Sunsets are nice, but I still miss the weather. All of it. I missed it the first morning we were here, on the first day of November, when it's supposed to be cold, or cold and rainy. California doesn't have weather. Most citizens of this state probably can't name the weather person on their local TV news program. It feels like an April morning every day. 84 April mornings in a row. Not the place for someone who has always enjoyed weather, of any kind or description. But the sunsets are pretty.

the Pacific

Nov. 1st, 5:18 pm. Here we are at the Pacific Ocean. We stopped somewhere in North San Diego to pick up the keys to our new apartment, then headed for Oceanside and the Pacific. Shells weren't as easy to find--here are two worn smooth by the sea, and a beach pebble. Odometer--47,178.2
It has been quite a day driving--through desert, up and down mountains, to the California freeways, and now here to a little town by the ocean.
