“They’ve come in way under budget—somewhere in the $60 million range with an $82 million budget.

Our sympathy to the grieving wife and mother, and other loved ones, of Yuji Hu, of Calgary, Alberta, Canada and his five-year-old daughter. Both were pulled into the ocean by a large wave at Garrapata State Beach along Highway 1 just north of Rocky Point Restaurant on Nov 14. https://www.kktv.com/2025/11/16/5-year-old-girl-missing-father-dead-after-family-swept-into-ocean/

Last night we checked out a relatively new pub in Point Arena, called "The Record".

If you find yourself traveling through on highway 1, check it out. They had a local cover band playing classic rock. They ended their set with a long version of The Doors, LA Woman. At the end the entire pub emptied outside to applaud the band.

Great energy for a Saturday night. We need more of that.

Damn!! All i wanted was a cheap commute to work to dodge the notorious Bay Area traffic… Went to shop to get the cheapest Royal Enfield classic 350… but then I test rode the #himalayan450 and thought ok let me splurge a few more dollars and have some fun during my commutes - after all … I am due for my midlife crisis ;-) But then, I did not expect it to be SO MUCH fun that I ended up going on a 200 mile ride down #highway1…. And also down memory lane to all those long road trips crisscrossing southern India with my uncle…

We have been planning our bucket list road-trip to Prudhoe Bay… but now, I am wondering if I should do the trip twice… once on 4 wheels and again on 2 … 😬

"California Department of Transportation, known as #Caltrans, said that the state had spent more than $370 million on fixing the #highway after #ExtremeWeather events in the past seven years….Building the road on unstable terrain took ingenuity. Fixing it in a world being rocked by #ClimateChange may take even more….There are more than 1,500 active slide areas in Big Sur.” https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/23/us/pacific-coast-highway-closed-climate-change.html
