Feeling safe enough to spend some time indoors at my parents’ house, I’ve been able to complete some important things that have been long neglected, like software updates and turning off motion smoothing on their new TV.

We have a small square of patio that’s a lovely spot to sit with coffee and a journal when the sun is coming up.

I went for a really nice paddle with my dad at the reservoir about 20 minutes up the canyon, yesterday. I hadn’t been up there in … 25 years or more? It’s a beautiful gorge with some winding passages and cool water.

Sunset was all right.

After a week of smoky, hot weather that kept us mostly inside, yesterday a small storm blew through and our air quality improved wonderfully, for a cool and fresh sunset walk.

Preparing to troll my team by visualizing time series data using a donut plot. This is going to be great.

Hazy sunrise walk. We’ve been pretty heavily covered by wildfire smoke from the Beckwourth Complex fire for several days.

Iced coffee and code. This could catch on.

It’s Wednesday, and I went for a hike and got a breakfast burrito, so it’s going fine so far. How about you all?

Pretty good sunsets this week.

This was a good one.
