IMPRESSED-DISAPPOINTED-DIVERTED AND TRICKY GOING

POPPING UP
   Having been so taken by the extraordinary sky scenes in the recent Bruce Taylor post, linked here, I was pleased by a couple of clouds that popped up behind these slopes in the Santa Lucia Mountains as viewed from our deck.


   Skies here are normally clear so as former mid-westerners we get excited when clouds appear. I hope you'll take the link above to see Bruce's beautiful shots that remind me of JMW Turner paintings. 


THE TROUBLE ABOUT CELEBS
    A life in the news business and one is rarely surprised by how people behave, but there are still disappointments.
    If Cosby did what he's accused of and there seems plenty of indication he did, it's despicable. And sad.
     Now they say Tom Selleck "stole" or used public water for his estate. Why? Our neighbors in Cambria pay water suppliers and none of them have the wallet of Selleck.  
     Not sure where the investigation involving Subway pitch- man Jared Fogel is going. Hope he's cleared of any wrong doing. What they're investigating is a sick and heinous problem and crime. Actually feeling sorry for Subway, though their ad agencies and marketing people get some quick work.
    And that's the point. We've become a celebrity and fame obsessed culture haven't we?  Think of how much time, space and ink these pieces have gotten while we ignore real news. How about this the troubling news we are into a new Cold War? We've managed to ignore a lot of other "issues," "threats," "problems" and the like so the old national security beat in the back of my head agitated up an admonition. I call your Selleck and raise you a Putin!
      
TRICKY ANGLING
    Can you spot the fishermen in this frame?
    They guide their kayaks into the kelp beds of the coast near Morro Rock.


   See you down the trail.
