Hazy Dayz Here in Laguna

For those of you who have had the pleasure of spending the last few days in Laguna and haven't ventured toward Laguna Hills via the canyon or anywhere else away from the coast, I needed to tell you that the sun has been making an appearance! The haze along the coast has been staying strong here in Laguna and it seemed to me that the sun would be gone everywhere...until I approached El Toro Road on Laguna Canyon! Then I suddenly realized that the sun was out and the sky was virtually cloudless. Imagine that! The mugginess that I felt in Laguna now became that of a sauna. The temperature in Laguna felt in the 70's this weekend, but outside, just a bit inland, it was 15-20 degrees warmer. So thank you haze! I personally like the 70's much more than the possibility of 90's!!!

Keep enjoying the beauty and pleasures of Laguna and as usual be safe. Thanks for reading and if you see me wandering around Laguna in my little grey Subaru, please say hi!!! Cole

Melting away in Laguna

OK, someone turned the heater on MAX and forgot to turn it off!!! These last few days have been extremely hard to believe. It has felt like a sauna in Laguna! For those of us who aren't meteorologists, what the heck is going on. I can handle warm weather, when you work your way up to it...not when you suddenly change from the 70's to the 100's, in what seems like, overnight.

Fine, I'm done complaining. I hope that everyone that was out in the sun used a lot of sunscreen and had a wonderful time this weekend. For me it was work days, but I had the pleasure of speaking with some old friends! I recently found an old friend from 10 years ago...I felt like saying the line from "Grosse Point Blank"..."10 YEARS MAN, WHERE YOU BEEN!" It makes me feel young again to speak with past friends. While I have remained down here Behind the Orange Curtain as they would say, they have moved to other parts of Southern California. I've said before that I love the way Laguna makes me feel, but I am still intrigued by how it is a complete opposite reaction by some. I guess they don't have the right mentality to have it get under their skin and really take hold.

So we will continue to wander through life and enjoy the beauty that Laguna throws at us each day...whether it be raining, sunny, hot, cold or something else...it is still beautiful and enriching...at least to me!

The wild waters of Laguna

Ok, who left the heater on? My, my, my, it sure warmed up today. Once again we had another beautiful day in paradise, but it's starting to get toasty!

The interesting happening of the day was the "pod of sharks" spotted off of Main Beach. They were the rare "bottle nosed dolphin sharks"! As a SCUBA diver, I would love to dive with some sharks, but dolphins would be cool, also. I'm assuming the person/people who reported seeing the "sharks" obviously don't know much about marine life. Otherwise, they would have been able to know the difference between some dolphins and some sharks. Anywho, it's still good to be nervous, they could have been a pod of dolphins with rabies and a taste for blood...human blood!!!

Back on the weather front, we still had that haze blocking our perfect view. I guess that way we're always left wanting more!

Once again, thanks for reading and if you see me wandering around Laguna in my little grey Subaru, please give me a wave.

Another beautiful day in Laguna

The temperature has started to creep back up again, but who can complain when you have that wonderful ocean breeze to cool you. Other than the haze that blocked our view of the islands off the coast, we were pretty close to another perfect day in paradise! I was in South Laguna for the day and I always love to have a relaxing day down there! I would love to hear any one's stories from the day that just slipping through our hands. Anywho, I hope that the haze is gone for tomorrow (I haven't look at the weather forecast or trust it even if I did look), so we can look out toward the Pacific and marvel at it vanishing off in the distance. I didn't hear of any earth shattering events today (I guess it was a slow news day) so I will sign off on my end. If I did miss something, please punish me severly with a comment or something to that effect! As always, thanks for reading and if you see me driving through Laguna in my little grey Subaru, please feel free to run me off the road...just kidding...waving would be more appreciated! Thanks, Cole
