There are basically two seasons in coastal California... raining and not raining.
We're more than a month into what should be not raining now. Except that yesterday morning, it rained. Not a major storm, but sustained windshield-wiper level for about an hour.
And that released some unusual kind of pollen or something. By late afternoon, I was being hammered by allergies. I actually left work an hour early, because my eyes were tearing up so badly I was getting concerned about being able to see well enough to drive.
It finally began to subside this morning, but it's not gone yet. So I spent part of today catching up on sleep, which admittedly I needed to do. An early afternoon walk down Main Street proved to be a lot of fun, it seemed there were fewer tourists than usual (gas prices beginning to take a toll?) and lots of locals out instead. There was a neat musical moment, too... keeping this intentionally vague... but a well known '60s musical icon lives here in town, and at an outdoor fundraiser, she got on stage and among other things sang one of the old songs. So beautiful.
