Fish Out of Water

Musings about life & travel from an East Coast native living on the Left Coast in the CA State Capitol since 2004 and now also spending time at a home-away-from-home in Evanston, IL. This fish has lived in Madison, WI (7 years); Portland, OR (2 years); Las Vegas, NV (7 months); Middlebury, VT (3 summers); Marne-la-Vallee, a small town east of Paris, France (6 months); Middletown, CT (3 years); & Marshfield, MA, the fish's coastal hometown 40 miles south of Boston (17 years).

Day 304: Thankful to Live in Sacramento

Today in Sacramento, we had slightly cloudy skies and temperatures that ranged from the low 50s to about 60.

On the other side of the country, in my hometown of Marshfield, my Mom was dealing with blizzard conditions, no electricity or heat, and excessive high tides.

Here are some pictures of Brant Rock, the beach neighborhood just to the south of where my Mom lives in Ocean Bluff:
