The weather, currently.
Clear Sky Weekend
Friday kicks off a beautiful weekend with sunny skies and a high of 55. If that sounds too chilly for your liking, Saturday and Sunday we’ll see some warmer temperatures with highs of 61 and 70, respectively. Skies will be mostly clear the entire weekend, so even those chillier temps won’t feel too bad in the sunshine.
If you haven’t given the calendar a good look, it’s Friday the 13th in October . . . doesn’t get much spookier than that. Although it’s supposed to be a day of bad luck or something like that, I think it’s a good omen for a superb spooky season to come 👻
What you need to know, currently.
The LA Times has a story out today about the solar industry and desert conservationists making friends. It’s worth a read in its entirety, only if for the fact that it should bring a sunny moment into your day.
After nearly two years of negotiations, a coalition of solar companies, conservationists and other groups has come to terms on a set of principles — and plans for further collaboration — that could speed up the construction of badly needed renewable energy projects while also protecting wildlife habitat, preserving treasured landscapes and benefiting nearby communities.
Climate-friendly renewable energy development in line with justice for all living things is in everyone’s interest. Let’s hope California can continue to lead the way.
