Heading to CA

I'm going to the Bay Area in California for September and a few days into October.
It will be interesting since it has been 2 years since I was there last. Having lived in Munich for the past 6 years I don't think I can really call it home now. It will be a different experience. Between the ravages of Covid, the fires, and the life pressures people living in the area experience it will feel strange.

We are trying to get my daughter packed up so we can have her join us in Munich.
Not looking forward to driving around our area and with the air quality from the fires not sure I want to spend time getting around on my bike. Not to mention the drivers attitudes in the Bay Area versus around Munich. Plus I have a lot of purging of stuff left behind.
I have to find out if I can afford to ship a few things to Munich. Doesn't look cheap.

Fun stuff.

I'm getting reports from where I live up in Sonoma Co. and my daughters digs in Sonora.

Not looking forward to my return. I've been deeply appreciating the beautiful air here in the Blue Ridge Mtn's among other things.

I know the air quality will be significantly worse as the dry and extreme heat conditions will continue along with the raging fires.

Just not looking forward at all.
