of the western sun (US Pacific Coast) is most welcome in the winter, it can be a bit much late afternoon in the summer. At least that is the way it felt yesterday afternoon when I was attempting to find a location that would 1) not leave my laptop in direct sunlight 2) not leave me in direct sunlight) 3) not be facing direct sunlight while I was on Zoom calls.
I really didn’t succeed all that well. During the day, it really isn’t much of an issue. But late afternoon, especially for a call that is 1700-1900 it is a bit of a challenge for about the 60 days starting mid June. So that was yesterday. I otherwise managed a small bit of organizing, stitched on both the current Ms Mushroom and No Time followed by a serious look at potential projects. I am not in love with this month’s Fabulous House from Cottage Garden Sampling so will choose to put those 7k+ stitches into something else (one of my left from prior year projects).
Today was a trip to the SF VA. For a change, the traffic was almost sane with no significant back-up on the Bay Bridge or the Toll Plaza. I will not say the same thing for the way home. It is about 18-20 miles which took under 40 minutes this morning. It was almost 2 hours to get home once I hit the merge on HWY 101 and the approach to the SF end of the Bay Bridge. If that wasn’t bad enough, it was even worse on the East Bay end where the bridge traffic merges with I80/I880/I580 or some strange combination there of.
Too tired to trouble you with photos today. I will make an effort tomorrow.
