By Ted Grussing… I’m ready for cool and clean air neither of which is currently resident here … but it is here, high surf near Monterey, California … never tire of the ocean or water in general. More triple digit weather through the weekend too … thinking fly high in temps in the 40’s and then drive up to the Flagstaff area and spend a day.
