The most San Francisco thing ever! I had just texted my neighbors how much I enjoy hearing cruise ships playing the Love Boat theme as they head out of the bay and then I get this Citizen alert with someone complaining about the loud noise! Maybe 30 seconds between these two events. #SanFrancisco

@jef I liked this one passing under the Bay Bridge the other day from my old (as of one day) office.

I should have brought an extra sweater to work it's so cold. Too bad I can't bring the cold air home.

the pass itself at 3682 meters is a beautiful sandy beach. I’ve been over a couple of the Sierra passes before but this one was so unexpected. (I was probably hypoxic.) (2/2) #MountainMonday

bit of a pointless but lovely slog up Pine Creek this afternoon. not much aerobic capacity at 9500 feet but the quads still work.

The salt mounds were lower than usual at the salt ponds and one of them looks like a vehicle drove over it (I assume that's the thing that happens!). #Amtrak #CoastStarlight #Tågskryt #TransitViews #Trains

Five years ago today, the Great Walkway (now Sunset Dunes) opened for its first weekend-only run. I was there for the gate closing and the drivers were so irate. Since then there have been multiple elections, court cases, and commission hearings about this […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

We were already a couple of hours late, so didn't pass Vandenburg in time and had to sit for 45 minutes until the SpaceX launch 🚀 didn't see it, but the train shook!

I never know why they sometimes route through Niles instead of the regular route, but this is the first time I've gone through during the daytime in a while – no idea what's going on but now we've been sitting next to a field south of Fremont for 20 minutes […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Some kind of event going on today in the plaza and streets next to the Oakland Jack London Square train station, which is great although whoever planned it has it set up so you can't access the train station without walking a block or so. Generally fine except a lot of people are carrying a lot […]

@jef I have not yet, but we're moving to EC3 in a couple of months so I'll wander through(not really an excuse since we're directly across from EC2 now)! I have had both Ozzy and Nopa Fish, both good.

Who remembers Bushman in #SanFrancisco ? I bought a San Francico sticker pack on my phone and one of the stickers was Bushman! Made me smile. I used to end up on the bus with him every couple of months. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Famous_…

if a fog wore pants

San Francisco Chronicle infographic with a drawing of the Golden Gate Bridge with four different fog configurations.

Fog's golden measuring stick
Top of tower: 746 feet
HIGH PRESSURE
Roadway: 245 feet
Golden Gate Bridge
Coastal fog forms through an interaction
between wind, temperature and ocean
currents. But a key factor to the vertical
extent is the inversion, a boundary between
cool, moist marine air and hot, dry air above.
Shallow inversion: About 250 feet
When high-pressure systems expand over the
West Coast, fog is limited to a shallow but
dense layer beneath the inversion, just at and
below the deck of the Golden Gate Bridge.
LOW PRESSURE
Typical inversion: Around 600 feet
On a typical day. the marine layer swallows the
bridge, hovering between the deck and the
tops of the towers, with the inversion acting as
a lid above.
Deep inversion: 1,500+ feet
When low-pressure systems intrude on the
coast, the inversion can rise to 1,500 feet or
higher, pushing clouds high above the
bridge's towers.
