San Joaquin Valley ozone has been less dangerous this summer. The graph shows fewer federal violations than I can remember at this time of year ... still a long way from healthy air out there.

I do love the view of Yosemite's high country, but today the smoke from wildfire make it tougher to see. yosemite.org/webcams/high...

Came across this old photo of a marmot pal who wanted to eat food in my backpack. I neglected to name this critter. Not even sure if it was male or female.

Listening to the Who. "Won't Get Fooled Again." Relishing the song and remembering the days. But that was 1971.

Southern Sierra Nevada nine years ago today. A reminder that a pleasant summer like this one can turn the air into something you can taste and almost chew.

Huntington Lake at 7,000 feet in the Sierra Nevada east of Fresno. Part of the vast hydroelectric chain in this region. I love this July photo, but I'm more attracted to winter snowshoeing up there.

The Sierra Nevada from the east side. Webcam is at Silver Peak above 10,000 feet in the White Mountains, across the other side of Owens Valley. Sweet Sunday look.

I needed a smile. Looked for and found these dog-eared volumes from a time in the last century. Love Russell Baker's writing. And I can't tell you how many times I laughed out loud on planes or trains reading Hunter Thompson's Gonzo Papers, Vol. I.

In case you've forgotten last July in Fresno. A truly warm start to July looks like this. BTW, last July was the warmest month on record in Fresno. #climate

Making plans for the Fourth. Older daughter's dog is called Stanlee. Younger one has a dog called Bash. Both freak out at Fourth of July proceedings. There may be sedation involved this year.

This one is 30 years old. Passed through this snow around 13,000 feet on walk up to Mount Whitney summit, tallest peak in lower 48 states. Great way to chill in August.
