Beautiful drive to Oceanside 03-11-20

The drive to Oceanside today was a joy.  The traffic was light and there weren't very many of those drivers that have to get in front of everyone else - weaving between lanes and trying to intimidate other drivers by climbing their tailpipe.  It was an hour and 15 minutes each way, no stress.  Lunch was very good - more about that on Friday.  

The blue sky meets the very blue Pacific Ocean. 
That pile of clouds is over Catalina Island and to the right is the non-operating nuclear station at San Onofre. .  

Going north on I-5 near Camp Pendleton, headed for that pile of clouds over Orange County. 

And off to the east are clouds over the hills behind Camp Pendleton.  No rain today.  Temp about 70F.

Empty Spools has canceled Sessions II and III because Asilomar is closed for four weeks.  I read that the virus affected passengers from a cruise ship will be housed there.  Hope they can disinfect it sufficiently because I am planning to transfer my class to the Independent Study class the last week of April.  Can't go a year without Empty Spools.

Thank you for the lovely cloud pix. I've noted the change in Empty Spool III. Let's cancel our Back Porch/dinner date, until things are more settled! I'm becoming more anxious about leaving home with all that's going on...and in just a couple of weeks, testing will be underway and we'll know much more (at least I hope!) about the spread and severity of this virus. Neither you nor are spring chickens and we are in that so-called vulernable age group and me with mild COPD - even though stable by meds, I worry! We can catch up when things are more settled. Of course, we'll get together one of these days...we've been trying for a good many years now! Del, take care, continue to drive and live safely. Best ever, ~L
