The one news update I saw today that lifted the corners of my mouth.
Drakes Beach in front of the Ken Patrick Visitor Center is temporarily closed due to a large number of male elephant seals. Beach access will be restored as soon as the males move elsewhere. That could be tomorrow, a week from now, or longer. Check back here for up-to-date info.

I just don’t want to hear anyone else on tv or the radio say they can’t believe this is happening in America. It was signaled and projected. It was foreseen and forwarned. After all the falsehoods and fanning of grievances... it was...sadly ... inevitable

A Caucasian man in his 70s exited a #Sac @peetscoffee without a mask. I realized I didn’t yet have mine on. He said Don’t put it on! I said What? Why wouldn’t I? He said Don’t put it on! + grinned. I put on my mask. He drove off in a white pickup w/ a Q sticker on the cab window.
