It’s been said that everyone should work a service job for a year after high school, and I think that’s true but I think it should be a five-year plan including…
- living in another country for a year
- caring for the elderly for a year
- teaching for a year
- surviving as an artist for a year

What’s up with the usually cool start to NorCal coastal summer vs anomalous inland heat? Plus: cool everywhere this week, but heat rebuilds into August - Weather West
A remarkably cool start to summer in coastal northern and central California--but unusually hot inland and in mountains! It has been a very cool start to the summer (from May through mid-July) across the entire coastline of northern and central California, as well as much of the San Francisco/Monterey Bay Areas in general as well
