I did spot a few spots on Bellevue Avenue but they were parallel parkingContinueContinue reading “Canoe Kayak Conundrum”

SUP Web Cams
As impressed as I have been with the forecasts that I get from Windy.com they are still just that, forecasts. They are models of reality. Imperfect attempts to represent and predict reality.
