Another one of those days, meaning: clear, warm, bright, and dry. How dry? So dry that today there's a red flag warning for high fire danger in parts of the Sierra Nevada because of high winds and low humidity and the utter lack of snow. I've been in California for 35 years, and that's the first time I can remember this happening.
Down here in Berkeley, fall color continues and, on a breezy Saturday morning, leaves that ordinarily would have been brought down by storms a little earlier in the season are still falling.
