On this 3rd of June 55 degree morning my mind drifted to the benefits and detriments of 93% humidity. It’s pretty great walking weather, actually. Fog is good for the skin — built-in moisturizer. The birds still sing on foggy mornings.

So what about the vitamin D gift of the bright shining sun, you might ask. I pop a pill every evening. No worries. And the body’s preparation for the morning walk — the night’s sleep — it’s always in the mid to high sixties in our bedroom. That’s the sweet spot for a restful night.

Does anyone know how long it takes #Monterey county to update BallotTrax? We dropped our ballots yesterday in the ballot dropbox at the library but I haven't gotten a status update on it yet.

In past elections we usually got an update within 12 hours but we also were usually turning in our ballots much earlier.

After attending the 2026 California Bicycle Summit, the California Coastal Commission’s Senior Transportation, Access, and Mobility Planner Devon Jackson is eager to hear from local bicycle advocates on the Central Coast. He’d appreciate their recommendations, which can help guide project planning along the coast. Contact Devon: https://bikemonterey.org/california-coastal-commission-bike-advocacy.html

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: Kelsey Pfendler, 31, left #Monterey, #California on May 21, in an attempt to become the youngest woman to row solo and unassisted to #Hawaii. 🚣

⛈️ In her first week, she’s already faced storms, lost her freshwater supply, and is relying on tortillas and peanut butter until the #sun returns to power her solar desalinator. The current solo record is 86 days.
