That screenshot cuts off another key piece. (And if you walk around rich parts of Palo Alto you can spot the new houses by the light wells and the egress ladders for their basements.)

Also, seems like a shame to have torn down what used to be there, this house built in 1925, and sold for $7.05M in 2016. I'm pretty sure I prefer this style of architecture to whatever could get approved by the ARB to replace it today...

Hints:
The Play Room on the lower basement level (34% of that basement level's area) is larger than my 2BR apartment.
I think I'm counting 6 bedrooms (3 upstairs, 3 upper basement), 7 full baths (3 upstairs, 3 UB, 1 LB), and 4 half baths (2 ground, 1 UB, 1LB).
15,000 sqft lot.

I cheated. (Easy since I'd walked past that a number of times and all I had to do was figure out if it was Waverley or Bryant Street.)
And oh, goodness. I hadn't looked at the plans for that one before. First time I've seen 2 stories of basement in Palo Alto R-1.

10. "The only way that I can see that this threat can be eliminated is to vote for Biden. It will not be enough to just not vote for Trump. Any basis for a contested election can only really be eliminated by the election not being close.

SF Bay Area folks, we're getting back to an environment where it might be risky to leave the windows open overnight, since northerly winds are going to arrive soon and bring August Complex Fire towards the Bay Area.

This started as a series of tweets, but I quickly realized I needed something more long form to properly unfold my thoughts.

Vote. If the election is not close, his options are fewer.

At least this one is outdoors, so it's probably causing much fewer infections than the indoor ones.

A North America map for this is at nitter.vloup.ch/Climatologist49/… but I think I've seen a world map somewhere
Ratio of wettest to driest months of the year. Green areas have nearly uniform monthly average precipitation values.
Parts of the US are even weirder for their ratio of rainfall in the wettest month to the driest month (normalized to 30-day months). There's a band running from Louisiana to New Brunswick where the ratio is basically the lowest in the world; rainfall close to equal each month.

16/ Not fair, you say. Those are very different countries, with different laws, cultures, economies, and history.
OK, if the U.S. had San Francisco’s death rate, we’d be at 36,101 deaths, not 200,000. That’s 163,899 Americans who would still be alive.
