Aren't they trying to sell the port and redevelop it with lovely condos and a new baseball stadium or something?

sorta, the Oakland A's asked to make a new stadium at Howard Terminal, which doesn't handle large ships, and the Port Authority said "lol sure whatever, pay us" and then the maritime trading companies said "oh yeah we'll still offload coal right next to the stadium, idiots".

that poo poo ain't never getting built.

Took a stroll down the fury road wearing a K95 to snap pics and take in the bedlam. Saw a bluejay pecking and pulling at a window like it was trying to get inside. Decided to go home and noticed a fine white powder coating the streets and sidewalk. :thumbsup:

If you stick an air filter over your window ac or whatever aim to get a MERV 14 if you can. Iirc merv 13 might be enough for particulate but I think you really want a 14. They may or may not be in stock cause the filter media is in short supply because of covid, so good luck

Not really, not like Los Angeles/Long Beach, Oakland, or Seattle are. Stockton does bulk and break bulk, not containers, and only ~250 ships a year. There are two ships docked there today, with no ships arriving. 47 ships will arrive in Oakland today.
Thanks for the perspective.

Buy some blue painter's tape and do your best to seal all the gaps around the window AC, including the top of the movable part of the window.

Also buy an HVAC air filter at Home Depot, and just cut it up and tape an appropriate-sized piece of it in front of the window AC's air intake. It should help a little.


and people who don't have an AC at all can do the same thing with a $20 box fan and a HVAC filter:

If you have a "pro" mode in your camera app, manually set the white balance to 5900K, which is what it should be for day time.

The seams are already taped, but thanks for the filter idea. The AC's built in filter has holes bigger than a screen door.

You can go here and click on some cams in the forest so see how it looks.

You can also watch live footage of fires as well.

Meanwhile in far NorCal, the entire City of Oroville is under an evacuation warning again after the entire town was evacuated in 2017 due to imminent catastrophic dam failure.

Oroville is also 10 minutes from Paradise. Butte County can't catch a break.

Went back out on the deck and it's as dark as 8:30 pm out there now. I literally had to turn the indoor lights on to find something.

This is so unsettling, and I keep trying to find the words for it, but they don't come. This is terrible.
