After two (and a half) days of temps in the mid-90s, which is 10 degrees warmer for this time in March than the previous record, set in 1978, we here at the sun-struck and gridlocked coast see our prayers for rain as beyond futile and now merely look for overnight lows that bring sleep into the realm of the possible.

Meanwhile, stuff we saw this morning -- hot sunrise:

Empty beach:

And a hawk.
