The report continues “ The evidence collected to date also shows that the barrels referenced in the LA Times article likely contain other chemical substances. “

I am definitely going to look through (and offline quickly!) the associated reports!

In case anyone is as obsessed as my sister and I with the history of dumping terrible things (DDT, PCBs, random toxic waste, entire railcars, etc.) into the Santa Monica Bay, a late November report from the EPA is surprising me with recent clarifications:

“Instead, acid waste containing DDT was stored in large above-ground storage tanks, transported to the Port of Los Angeles in tanker trucks, pumped to Cal Salvage’s barges that were later towed to Disposal Site #2, and dumped into the ocean.”

Cyclocross is the madcap combination of Mountain Biking, road racing, running, falling, and mud-collecting that the Europeans have done for “fun” in the winter for decades—it’s a hoot!

The required materials really don’t take up much space when you don’t have a need for them to be up—taped up garbage bag with the filters, stacked on top of the fan, roll of duct tape in a cabinet—and being able to pull one or two of them out of a closet/garage when a smoke plume/Covid infection/etc. pops up is a real blessing

Just to note, in my corner of moist, coastal California, the dew point is currently 5°f/-15°c. That’s uh, not a Mediterranean Cs (Köppen classification) zone, anymore

If you never been, I highly recommend a visit to the aquarium. It’s so, so much more than the aquatic life inside—as Adrianna Tan eloquently describes, it stands as a monument to capitalism in the 19th and 20th century and the impacts on the environment, labor, and our global food supply

I should also mention that 4 days ago I was getting literally rained on (pulled out my rain jacket and appreciated it for a good 15 minutes!) during my late afternoon run #ClimateWeirding

Just realized there’s another Pedros cameo in that photo! The orange tire levers in the lower left are my 4th or 5th set so far (because I keep giving them away or adding them permanently to different seat bags, not for breaking or wearing out…)
