It’s been a good career with a lot of good people, and I’m looking forward to relaxing a bit now. Maybe get in better shape, maybe exercise my free speech rights a bit, read something non-work related, some volunteerism, and I really need to restart my banjo practicing.

My final day of employment was today, after 35 years. Naval officer, paper mill engineer, landfill mgr, air quality regulator, air quality assoc EO, and ending as an air quality lobbyist. My assistant, who’s been with me for 12 years gave me a going away Tigers mug and bottle of rye.

Sent a heat pump permit streamlining bill (SB 222) to the Governor, and swapped out my home gas stove for an induction range this morning. With the sale price and local utility rebate, it was 75% off. Pretty good day personally for building decarbonization.

Anyone got a good passive headline for this to exonerate the driver of any wrongdoing? The speed limit in our neighborhood is 25mph and you’ll note that this happened right AT THE STOP SIGN!
Somehow this happened at a stop sign in a neighborhood with a 25mph speed limit.

Millions of Californians are breathing cleaner air thanks to CA's Community Air Protection Program. In 19 communities, #CapAndInvest dollars helped reduce: ✅27,000 tons of air pollution ✅293,000 metric tons of greenhouse gases ➡️ bit.ly/4yWuebU
Infographic showing statewide Community Air Protection (CAP) incentives from 2017–2025 and the resulting emissions reductions. A donut chart breaks down $837 million in funding by category: $216 million for off-road projects, $186 million for on-road projects, $177 million for infrastructure, $95 million for marine vessels, $84 million for community-identified projects, $73 million for locomotives, and $6 million for other projects. A second graphic summarizes estimated emissions reductions: 24,500 tons of nitrogen oxides (NOx), 1,700 tons of reactive organic gases (ROG), 1,000 tons of particulate matter (PM), and 293,600 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GHG). Figure caption reads: "Expanded CAP Incentives Statewide as of November 2025."
