  Turban Shell Yesterday! Yesterday I found another wavy turban shell at PB. When I got home I immediately put it in 1/3rd strength bleach solution. Top left, how it looked when I put it in the back of my car, and the next 3 are after 18 hours of a bleach solution. I will soak it more with...

  Scripps August 26 Kelly and I went to La Jolla Shores yesterday. We ended up at Scripps. Weirdly: despite San Diego Municipal Code 63.20.7 there were TWO large trucks on the beach: one delivery, one tow. There were a dozen pelicans floating near the pier,they avoided the waves by flying a bit then went right back to hanging...

I have to make due with the Nicholas Canyon numbers. I wanted to go to Malibu to lap swim, actually, so I headed out at 10:30am or so. When I got there, however, the pool...

  Beach Time, Not Quite It was warm yesterday. I went to the beach late in the day but the water is 56 degrees F. The lifeguard says it doesn’t get into the 60s until June. I now know 56 is too cold for me now, my calves were instantly numb, and not in a good way. Hypothermia is not...
