My dear friend Adam Savage, starting about 3:50 in this video, gives a beautiful description of the history of the value he’s found as a creative person in being a denizen of the Bay Area, especially San Francisco, since his first experience here in the late 80s.

Really lovely and compelling:

@Drwave I related to that video because I have the exact opposite reaction to San Francisco (and all the parts of California I’ve visited). He’s right: it starts with stuff as fundamental as the light, the air, and the land! Amazing how strongly people feel that kind of connection (or non-connection, in my case).

Jason, tangentialy related. Did you ever look into the Tempest Weather System? Saw it linked to a you tube channel and thought it looked interesting.

@ASH_2000 I haven't, I bought a Davis and it lasted 18 years so I figured I'd just buy another.

Thanks much. Turns out Tempest doesn’t have an external screen so off the list.
