It’s a good day when I can walk to the back deck and listen to some crashing waves

Oh wow I didn't know about this. There's a style of scuba diving called hookah diving where they leave the oxygen tank outside the fish tank so the diver can get in a small tank to clean it

The f-stops here. Through nominally careful experimentation with the iPhone’s manual controls, I tried manipulating depth of field. While the results don’t rival dedicated cameras, they reveal potential in not always using a point-and-shoot method.
Oddly it rained in #Monterey #California this afternoon. It was actually a pretty good downpour for a bit. I think we had a squall line move through.

It's hella windy in #Monterey #California right now. Trash cans are blowing around and the house is shaking from the wind.
I’m very glad I live with a Filipino and a Japanese person whenever I’m in Monterey, coz that means there is always rice without me having to cook it, at all times.
Every time I’m on a call with someone at work who lives locally, they ask me for my restaurant recs.
Happily, I have them.

While biking the coastal trail Sunday eve, we met Salinas residents David, a teacher, and his daughter, Priscilla, home on spring break from her CalPoly classes.
Among the topics we touched on was April 10-13 Sea Otter Classic, which we think of as one big bike party! Who it’s for, how to get free admission, and history of #SeaOtterClassic: https://bikemonterey.org/april-10-13-sea-otter-classic-2025.html
Hello from my office
My perfect Monterey breakfast is (at my home): a gimbap I got from the Korean store (made by an auntie at the back of the shop, not Trader Joe’s), soy sauce, wasabi, coffee.

It feels like summer is here in #Monterey #California where it is currently 49f with a clear sky ahead of #sunrise. Yesterday we had our first fog of the season spilling over the hill from Pacific Grove. That means it was warm enough inland to pull the cold air from the ocean over shore.
In the summer here we're usually shrouded in fog most of the day. We get fog season for about five months a year.
My commute to work by bicycle.

Did you know that the towns next to Monterey, Seaside and Marina, have a surprisingly large no of small Korean grocers?
There are so many! They all sell Korean foods, fresh and shelf stable. Each one has a Korean grandma or two or three making banchan and kimchi at the back of the shop.
I frequently go to get freshly made kimchi and gimbaps. And of course, Shin Black noodles too.
- First Oriental Market, Seaside
- Hong’s Market, Marina
- Chon’s Market, Marina
- Asian Market, Marina
For location reasons, I usually end up going to the Seaside one but when I can, all of the Marina ones are amazing too.
And if I’m in Marina I pair it with a trip to Lee’s Chinese. I skip the standard Chinese fare and get their Korean Chinese homemade jjampong seafood noodles.
