Althouse, come out to LA and you'll get nice sunrises and sunsets, and 70 degree weather.

How do we know it is contemplative gazing?

Quite a winter scene, for November. The deep cranberry colored coat is a clever contrast.

Mike (MJB Wolf) ayon kay ...

Cmon that Comey-like pose calls for a more Jack Handy-ish caption than time and place. Just assume people who care about the metadata will look up the metadata.

And the nothing that is.

I bet there are some very nice, maybe record-setting, and delicious walleye in that lake. And that spot looks like a good one for fishing too. I'm on my way.

Bay Area Guy ayon kay ...

I'm in Houston where it's 43 F and rainy. Must be global warming.

How do we know that you weren't actually just sleeping standing up?

Yancey Ward ayon kay ...

I see that Elizabeth Warren has billionaires attacking her this morning for her proposed wealth tax ad. I don't think they understand the political optics of this- they are doing Warren a favor.

Mary Beth ayon kay ...

How do we know you're gazing contemplatively? You might be smiling coyly.

Mike (MJB Wolf) ayon kay ...

No Yancey, Liz is so bad at math she thinks taking 2% doesn’t erode wealth. As if checkbook accounts still paid 5% like the old days. The billionaires sound way more sane than Liarwatha.

Were you contemplating three more moths of cold, snowy Midwest weather?

I am still in shorts and sandals here in Tucson. The high is 80, but next week it gets cold with highs in the upper 60's. Time to break out the flannel shirts.

Mark O ayon kay ...

Are you OK, Ann?

Dave D ayon kay ...

yancey:

I pity all of us 401K'ers ~5 minutes before Warren is inaugurated. The billionaires will just hide their wealth in other places.

Ann looks cold.

Ryan: I was just in LA. I wouldn't move their unless I was paid big bucks. The weather doesn't compensate for the grief and trouble.

One of my neighbors moved his business from LA to Omaha. He told me yesterday he recalled how it took 30 minutes to drive to a shopping center just 5 miles away. And, of course, the schools are not good.

Michael K ayon kay ...

I'll get my dose of ass freezing in Chicago at Thanksgiving. I grew up there and left once I was 18. No desire to ever go back.

Spent 60 years in LA/OC and no desire to go back to that. Read an obit of one of my classmates today in the LA Times.

Ann Althouse ayon kay ...

“ Were you contemplating three more moths of cold, snowy Midwest weather?”

A great subject for contemplation— moths.

I visualize 6 moths, the 3 more and the others, which I imagine also as a trio.

Ann Althouse ayon kay ...

You just need the right clothes.

It wasn’t too cold 25 degrees.

A solitary figure looks out over a cold, gray landscape, inspired to tap a tale of three worlds, hers, theirs, ours.

Rosalyn C. ayon kay ...

You might enjoy seeing the artwork of Tomás Saraceno -- I managed to discover him through reading a story about Christie Brinkley's ex's engagement to a much younger woman whose parents are art dealers, and while thinking about if and how I might discuss the realization of the Self as it is described in the Bhagavad-Gita (as opposed to losing the self) and experienced through transcendental meditation. His artwork touches on the topic in a fantastic way.

John Scott ayon kay ...

There's a point just north of Santa Barbara where you can witness the sunrise and sunset over the ocean from same spot. Can't imagine that there are a lot of places that aren't islands where you can do that.

I want to hear more about your running - especially at your age. I recently decided I had to give it up as it was aggravating my back issues and I'm 'only' 58. Kinda sucks as it was my go to form of exercise. Do tell....

rcocean ayon kay ...

Yeah if all you care about is weather, LA is great. The great thing about cold is all you have to do is put on more clothes and you're OK. When its too hot, there's not much you can do except go find some air conditioning.

To be honest, Althouse. It looks like you're waiting for a bus.

hey! while you're gazing at a dawn, you can't see...
Let's play The Alternative Realities Game!

remember when the democrats said that Trump might not accept the 2016 election results?
when they said that the BASIS of American Democracy was accepting election results?

remember when the democrats said, "there Is NO deep state, to think so is paranoia" ??

remember when democrats sicced the FBI and the CIA onto both political opponents and the press?
remember when the democrats colluded with russians, to dig dirt to alter elections?
remember when the democrats colluded with Ukraine, to alter elections?
remember when the democrats accepted bribes from Ukrainians to influence decisions?
remember when the democrats DEMANDED quid quo pro from the Ukraine, inre said bribes?

Me neither!
All i know is what the main stream media tells me to know; and that is:
There was a school shooting today

Nice gams, professor. You look like a runner. Meade is a lucky guy

Big Mike ayon kay ...

@Anchovy, but it’s a dry heat. I’ve been to Tucson three times, once just passing through on my way to Ft. Huachuca, and to Phoenix twice, and that’s what everybody says.

John Scott @2:42 PM: One is Cape May, NJ, at certain times of the year.

Technically, the western side is the mouth of the bay but it's full of saltwater fish, so it's close enough to be ocean for them, anyway.

This photo reminded me of "Being There", especially the end scenes.

Ann Althouse - cruelly neutral, and politically buoyant.

Only if you were walking along the beach. If you were peering out from your second story condo, Lewes, Delaware would get in the way.

The sun came up like a bus
Heading downtown at rush hour...

My spot is like that too... except it's not the ocean, it’s a lake.

June, July, August and September can be brutal, but you learn to dress and act accordingly. Lots of water and sunscreen, not so much clothing. Althouse would not like it because a lot of men wear shorts six moths (er... months) of the year.

I look forward to Winter because I can wear jeans, flannel shirts and shoes. My stepson (college in Iowa) gets my winter coats.

thank, Ann, for blogging. A very soft, BIG, comtemplative thank you.

"No Yancey, Liz is so bad at math she thinks taking 2% doesn’t erode wealth. As if checkbook accounts still paid 5% like the old days. The billionaires sound way more sane than Liarwatha."

The problem, Mike, is that Warren knows her primary voters and the base of the Democratic Party. No amount of sanity is going to sway them, and by attacking Warren, she can portray herself as the enemy of Wall Street.

"...but it’s a dry heat."

That's what Arizonans tell themselves. That's what outsiders say too. Then they walk outside in July and they realize: It's a hot heat.

Like Winnipeg in January: not for softies.

Mike (MJB Wolf) ayon kay ...

Her base are idiots. You’ll be surprised I guess at how many normal Americans with 401Ks don’t want Warren and her wealth tax and will happily side with the 1% against idiocy like hers. She can bring us all together!

Ann Althouse ayon kay ...

"a dry heat"

That means no filtering, soothing moisture in the air. That's very hard on the skin. Very harsh. I don't see how it saves you from the brutality of the heat, which is a feeling on the skin. The lack of cloud cover and the lack of shade trees all make for a punishing sunlight. Yes, the sweat evaporates quickly, but I would be hiding out in the air conditioning all day out of fear of burning, literally burning my skin (and my retinas).

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

I lived 30 years in the frozen north with a typical year having a couple of months when the high was between about 30 F and minus 5 F. Everybody had a closet full of clothes so we could all dress for 20 below, which happened every few years.

I have decided I have two favorite temperatures. One is 72 F, summer shirtsleeve weather. The other is 20 F. At 20 degrees there is no slush, the ground is frozen solid so there is no pollen or mold in the air, the sun is often shining brightly, and if you can dress for 20 below it is a piece of cake to dress for 20 above.
