Blue Skies, Smilin’ At Me...


The weather turned unnaturally pleasant over the weekend - highs in the low 80's, light breeze, blue skies. It was quite the shock to me because all I've ever known here are the extremes. Last October we went from triple digit heat to cold, clammy fog seemingly overnight. And last Spring we did the same, in reverse.

It's forecast to last only another day, so I'll try and enjoy it while I can. Days like this make Bakersfield seem almost livable.

Almost, but not quite.
