With my iPhone constantly remind me that it’s just about out of storage space, I realize that I never got around to turning on iCloud Photo Library. I’m not sure why, but I probably had some logic. These days, is there any reason not to turn it on?

New journal day!

I can have a new keyboard, as a treat. (Keychron Q1)

I experimented with some cast iron skillet pizza last night. Not bad!

We got up to Causey Reservoir for another morning paddle this week. Calm water made for some stunning and sometimes hypnotic, views.

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.

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.
