Nothing like a huge win and beam on a blustery night #sacramentokings #sacramento

Creeks and rivers flood to different rhythms, creeks vulnerable more to peak downpours, rivers to cumulative effects. In Sonoma, my favorite creek has likely seen its drama and was half the elevation of a true flood stage. #cawater #sonoma

Here in Sac, no outward signs of movements by our own armed forces. Or changes in water operations. The Kings did win though! Earth to Trump. Come in please. #cawater #CAleg #Sacramento

With LeBron Hill of the SacBee. Great win!

Water history is about to be made in Sacramento. The details soon in The Bee.

Took Mom (94) for a long ride in the Delta and then some Chinese on Freeport, where they offer an entire suckling pig the large appetite/carnivore.

I have been investigating this allegedly “pretend” Santa Claus that has been a fixture in Folsom for 30 years. He may be too magical to be anything other than the real one. Conclusion Sunday in Sac Bee.

I love a Sacramento Kings beam on a dark and stormy night. The vista from Alkali Flat.

I have never seen 99 percent of the Metropolitan Water District board agree on a next step when it comes to Delta conveyance.

Why would a city manager pose with an arch rival of the new mayor the day before he wants the new mayor to extend his contract? A Sacramento paradox.

Thanksgiving is in my mind America’s best single day. Which is why I like to fly once ours is over to see the European Philps and do it again.

About to see family in Europe. I am sure they are happy to see me. But they insist on this.

My Cazadero/Austin Creek is not so far behind but yeah what is with Venado?

Sonoma’s Austin Creek is Nature’s Ferrari when it comes to storm surges. Half way to flood stage (21 ft) in little time.
