California SR 23, at the bridge over the Santa Clara River. The Santa Clara is the last natural river in Southern California, meaning that it has not been channelized and is allowed to follow its natural course. On March 12, 1928, the St. Francis Dam broke upstream and flooded several towns, including Fillmore (seen directly ahead) and Santa Paula. Fillmore was visited by disaster yet again in 1994, when the Northridge earthquake severely damaged its historic downtown area.

• 07:51 A beautiful, if cool, morning in Ventura. Coffee's hot. Oatmeal has been eaten. I'm not at work. What could be better? #
• 12:43 @leolaporte I like you Leo, but I don't give a @#$% what you just became the mayor of. Enough with the automated Foursquare tweets, already. #

• 14:27 Identi.ca must be getting more popular. Just got my 1st Identi.ca follow from a spambot. #
• 14:45 @RonKJeffries They must be activating lists randomly. Nobody was more surprised than I to see them activated for my acct. #
• 21:55 @ebertchicago I'm just a couple blocks from there. It may be ugly, but Brutalist? Not so much. #

• 08:08 There are 2 Maseratis in the office parking lot, but only 1 Smart. Exclusivity is relative. #
• 16:38 @wilw And that's how us native Californians can tell that it's autumn. Well, that and wildfires. #
• 20:09 @RichardRBarrett Homemade slightly alcoholic root beer? Yum! #

• 09:48 My cardiologist isn't returning my calls. Maybe I need to call and scream "Code Blue!" into the phone. #
• 12:14 So far, there's nothing wrong with this week that a month in Paris and a bottle of absinthe wouldn't cure. #

• 17:57 To the guy parked in my space: if it's numbered and behind a locked gate, it's probably reserved. So move the truck or be towed. Your call. #

• 21:47 Google modifies Michigan post.ly/ARNd #

Whoever's responsible for Google Analytics' map doesn't have the foggiest notion of what Michigan looks like, unless of course the Upper Peninsula and the Lower Peninsula have been joined by a land bridge and they filled in Lake Michigan. Kinda looks like Bart Simpson bowing his head in shame, actually. Odd...

Today was the day GeoCities was killed off, finally, by Yahoo. Some would call it a mercy killing; Yahoo closed it to new registrations some time ago, and a lot of what was on there looked like it was permanently stuck in 1998. Of course, in 1998, GeoCities seemed pretty impressive to a lot of people who were able for the first time to put up a web page of their very own. It's easy to forget that there was a time before GoDaddy, when domains cost a lot more than $7.99 a year, and Blogger and WordPress were still in the future.
