@scottbuscemi @teslaenergy I don’t see it on LinkedIn anymore. I think Jim Rugg deleted his post. I wanted you talk him up on the offer to “learn more”

#lafires are estimated to have a staggering $50 billion dollars in damages or in other words less than 15% of Elon Musks net worth. He could pay for the recovery of 7 of these events back to back and still be extremely wealthy.

Who’s going to lead the effort to adopt gondolas as Marin’s primary transit system to replace cars? Imagine taking a gondola from the ferry to Muir Woods and Muir Beach and replacing the roads and parking lots with forests, grasslands, wetlands, & creeks.

@Weather_West The risk is to more than just the creeks converted to flood control channels, it is nearly every creek where we have built without hardly any setback - every urban drainage in the Bay Area.

@RobMayeda @ChristinaToms My sister is getting married outside at Point Reyes on Saturday. See what you can do to ensure a dry and spectacular wedding! 😂🫰😬

Wow Michelle Obama continues to be very good at this

Fisherman are not the best fluvial geomorphologists.

How many drops is one dollop

[Erik Stromberg @UrbanStream]

@gunsnrosesgirl3 The interesting thing about this is not the popularity of online dating, but the drop of neighbors to almost nothing. Our car culture and suburban isolation forgot to make places to interact and get to know each other.

@ChristinaToms I came home from an event and it was 35-10. I stayed up to watch the rest to celebrate. My biggest mistake of the year.

@kinglet749 Oh no. Not related to anything of yours! Ha!

Landscape architecture has a vey different goal in a wildland setting compared to the built environment. Not many landscape architects grasp that immediately.

@jjopperman I like the gifts of agriculture part - but I wouldn’t say a river that spills out of its banks is misbehaving. That’s one of the most important things rivers do.

Arrived at large kids soccer tourney to a sea of parents cheering for a goal and the goalie covering his face in tears. 30 seconds in to a day of #kidssports

“expanding roadway systems is unlikely to have anything close to the economic benefits that state and federal policymakers hope for.”

Two more Prey-go-neesh (California condors) take to the sky. At 12:28pm yesterday (Aug 21), condors B4 (1194) and B6 (1218) joined 11 other free flying birds in Yurok ancestral territory.

With world class athletes subjected to unhealthy water quality at the Olympics, I wonder about the disconnect between those that know the Siene and Olympic organizers. It is not a good look, but does highlight our poor relationship with urban waterways. https://t.co/hrxdX1vMko

@KamalaHarris I was thinking about all sorts of good VP options and then I thought of Michelle Obama and smiled. That’s the ticket right there.
