Still Hanging Out in California

It's hard to be reasonable about something like this. There are so many things to make you sad and angry. I love California. I'm glad to be living here. I don't know if I could live in LA. It's a bit too big and too car centric for my tastes. But I've always enjoyed visiting. Had a lot of memorable times there. Seeing what's happening now, what's going to continue until the damned winds stop blowing. I know it's a cliche to say this but it's heartbreaking.

This is our local dam and reservoir. Our water doesn’t actually come from here but that’s another story. We’ve actually seen it worse than this. On the other hand, Arizona, a state full of people who think (thought?) climate change is a liberal hoax, is living on borrowed time, in my opinion.

I first noticed these tent thingies in the field this past winter. Don't know their function. There appear to be alliums growing inside. Maybe the cover is to keep them from bolting?
