One of the smelliest places on the planet.
A friend called to say the harbor saw a six foot surge due to
waves. It’s closed for now.
When the lighthouse on the jetty was painted a while back it was red until someone figgered it really ought to be green.
I send logs to Big Creek, the mill near Davenport.
Santa Cruz is now run by Uncle Charlie’s Summer Camp,
whose mascot is the banana slug. It was a nice town before ‘62.
SOOOO—WHO IS GOING TO GET SUED FOR ALLOWING RESTROOMS TO COLLAPSE INTO THE OCEAN???
I think it is the wharf not the pier.
Reminds me of a Buster Keaton film where his seaside honeymoon cabin washes out to sea.
Checking in!
"It's a testament to climate change?"
The California official has to say that if he wants state emergency funds.
It's insane to suggest that the mere change in weather due to the approach of a storm that collapses a pier under construction is due to climate change and not the lack of quality engineering in California.

I was stationed there in my younger days. Much more enjoyed driving down to Monterey on my time off. Even 30 years ago the place was weird. I can only imagine how bad it is now.
Sadly most of the spots we took our kids to over the past 30 years are destroyed or filth and crime ridden.The US is ruined families might as well stay home.
Bought first ever house in Watsonville and worked for the ambulance co in SC mid 1970s. Many memories of drugged out hippies especially outside the Catalyst.
