Two Seasons of San Diego
A couple of weeks ago, in San Diego’s wonderfully sunny September, I posted a photo looking over the canyon. Here is a similar photo from yesterday morning, showing our other season. September was Sunny & Mild, we are now in Misty & Mild. We do, technically, have a rainy season, but our rainy season is mostly Sunny & Mild.
Both photos were taken at right about the same time of day (morning). Temperature on that September morning was about 63°F. Temperature this morning is about 61°F.
In response to 2013 in photos: For photos and perhaps other quick notes sent from my mobile device or written on the fly during 2013.
- The Sandman: Season of Mists•: Neil Gaiman (comic book)
- “Ten thousand years ago, Morpheus condemned a woman who loved him to Hell. Now the other members of his immortal family, The Endless, have convinced the Dream King that this was an injustice. To make it right, Morpheus must return to Hell to rescue his banished love—and Hell’s ruler, the fallen angel Lucifer, has already sworn to destroy him.”
- Shining Colleges on a Hill
- It’s hard not to be inspired by a shining college on a hill that had the foresight to build on a hill, especially with the bonus of overlooking a large body of water.
More San Diego
- San Diego: 5th Avenue Books and Bluestocking Books
- Facing each other across Fifth Avenue in Hillcrest, these two great bookstores complement each other well.
- San Diego, California: Footnote Books
- A crowded, tiny bookstore off the edge of Hillcrest in San Diego, this is a very good bookstore with very little space.
- Why isn’t Bob Filner resigning?
- Because he thinks he can get away with it—and chances are, he’s right. The watchdog media becomes a lapdog media where Democrats are concerned, especially when those Democrats are in contested areas.
- Carl DeMaio talks about expanding the San Diego Convention Center
- Looks like San Diego city councilman Carl DeMaio is backing an expansion of the convention center to ensure that Comic-Con stays in San Diego. The anchor, who I can’t pick out of the Channel 6 line-up, mentions both Anaheim and Vegas as places that would like to entice the convention away.
- Dark Thursday’s iPad goes far
- Give them this: when everybody else’s cell phones were dying, my iPad and Verizon allowed me to make fun of SDG&E’s twitter feed throughout the night.
