Just for fun...

Last follow-up on the fun coastal SoCal's been having with Hurricane Marie — mainly to my north in Orange and Ventura Counties. Excellent footage and high-quality narration by folks who clearly know their meteorology, wave dynamics, and coastal engineering.


You may be unimpressed by the cited wave heights of 5-12 ft. But this is long-period swell, and the combo makes for high wave energies — very little of which had been lost since the swell left Marie days ago.

With waves like this rolling in on higher than normal tides, the energy gets deposited directly into both the beaches themselves and any adjacent seacliffs or structures like seawalls and homes.

The video shows the results. As you watch, note that you can gauge the energy of a wave from the height its water reaches after slamming into a vertical barrier like a seawall or cliff.

Its been an extremely low hurricane year, something had to appear, in fact there have been zero hurricanes till these.

Excellent! Needed that laugh after paying today's vet bill. She'll be OK, but my bike budget won't.

Cutejitzu is the ancient art of exploiting cuteness for personal gain. Most kids and dogs are 11th degree black belts from birth, and Roxie's no exception. It's why I coughed up for the vet without thinking twice.

Dude... as a dog lover I'd be all over that.
I'm not in a position to be a dog owner again (at this point), but someday soon again.😍
 
Started playing this song in the band last night.
Just for fun... :)


Great tune with a driving groove I'll be testing for my synchronous pedaling to music playlist.

At 150 bpm, it won't sync well with my normal cadences (80-100 rpm, 90 rpm preferred). But my knees will be OK with light pedaling at 75 rpm, a perfect sync with this song. Just the thing for easy neighborhood laps.

Believe it or not, I checked the bpm with my app and figured it would not fit in your routine.
Impressed that you have alternate applications! :cool:
