WTF

"They call it Pork . . ."
Evil Cat to the Pig, Babe

The National Park Service wildflower chart has poppies blooming January through August.  Never seen them before February in the Bay Area, but through August sounds right.  Before Sunday I had never seen poppies blooming in November as above.  Nor had I ever seen a king snake this late as Brigid and I did on Saturday, basking in the very warm sun on the south levee.  Nor have I ever experienced a November evening as warm as Monday's in downtown SF.    

Parkour soreness left nothing but gimping around with Ian on Sunday.
