#Smoked #Salmon filets sounds very delicious right now. I miss going to the farmers market in #Sacramento and buying their smoked fish. I have not found another seller whose product is as good.

102F in the Arden-Arcade area of #Sacramento #CA. #Sac is another one of those places that gets a lot hotter than one would expect. But the plus is that there is often a cool sea breeze coming from the Bay Area in the evenings.

I bought this tabletop #Galaga machine when I was working in #Sacramento. I really need to play it more. I think more play time would improve my productivity, too.

Another reason homeownership is sliding for those who don't already own real estate: the price is rising at many times the inflation rate. One guy I worked with in #Sacramento told me he lives in a major city near the agency's regional office, and that renting apartments (not buying / becoming an owner, renting!) in that relatively high crime area costs around $4,000 per month. In my former #Los_Angeles County area in #SoCal, the homes I lived in when I was growing up (less than 1,200 square feet, with a tiny yard, built in the 1950s) are all showing a value of $500K or more on RedFin.
That's price growth of 10X or more within my lifetime.

Regular people mall
There was one of these in #Sac, also. It was near the State Expo fairgrounds. @bthall and I (and his dad) met up there one time.
#Sacramento is actually not a bad place.

Rich People Mall
I found one in the #Sac area. It wasn't enclosed, so maybe "mall" is the wrong word. But it was a ritzy shopping area with a Whole Foods a Barnes and Noble, and some places so expensive looking that I didn't even want to walk in front of them. (From there, I went to Macaroni Grill, but the way it took me was near the prison and a dam, then across a river. I expect #Sacramento natives will know the place even better than Google Maps did.)
-
Suddenly remembered that I was reinitializing the family #NAS ( #Synology DS416j ) before I left #SoCal for #Sacramento. They haven't been using it for 7 months (6 months while I was in #Sac, almost a month since I returned).
-
I think I’ve only had one dream this year that I still remembered when I awoke. I was in #Sacramento, walking back to the #hotel from the store. I had two heavy bags in each hand, so I could not move quickly or lift my hands very high. Some man attempted to rob me—and then I woke up.
-
In the months that I was in #Sacramento, I never once visited Dimple Records (which went out of business while I was there), though I did visit Dimple Books during the final weeks of their going out of business clearance sale.
I don’t really regret not going, because I don’t really have a place to put more stuff anyway.

Something like this really did happen in #Sacramento while I was there. McDonald's ran out of burgers, so everyone went to Burger King. BK ran out of Impossible Whopper (vegetable-based) patties and also got so far behind that orders were taking in excess of thirty minutes. Only in #Sac would McD's run out of burger patties. I've never heard of that happening anywhere else.

One guy at the #Sacramento office was telling me about his power set up. He lives in PG&E territory, so he's having photovoltaic panels, a wind turbine, a Tesla powerwall storage system* installed, and then, any extra power ships to #PGE. He said that even with the outage resistance, he would not have done it without tax incentives.
(Surprised me, because he's of the "buy an electric car, period" persuasion.)

In #Sacramento, I sometimes took a walk between 06:00 and 06:30 on Saturdays. I don't do that here. Some people let their dogs roam outside their yards.
-
Last day at this assignment in #Sacramento. Everything is crawling.
-
Someone at work was advising someone else about the parts of metro #Sacramento that he should include in his property search (the 2nd person is newly moved here with a young family and wanting to buy a house). About one neighborhood, she said it was the only place where she's ever seen police helicopters announcing a suspect's description.
.
That is true. I saw that happen here once, but never any other time or place. Mostly, I've felt pretty safe here.
-
Apparently, there was a #PSPS that affected parts of the #Sac area. A man in the drugstore was looking for somewhere to buy a battery-powered AM/FM radio and the clerk at the counter also mentioned that power had been out at her home. At least parts of the #Sacramento metro are covered by the city-owned #SMUD utility, so I was surprised to see this.
-
A guy at work said he saw some TV show that claimed that #Sac was the number one city in California for serious accidents, for fatal accidents, and for intoxicated driving accidents. #Sacramento drivers do seem unusually bad to me, but I cannot say the area is number one.
-
If a #Sacramento area #CHP officer wanted to make his / her quota, then watching the carpool lanes of on-ramps would be lucrative. I see lots of gasoline powered vehicles with one passenger flying by as a I wait for the meter to signal my turn to enter.
-
I think there are too many people in the #Sac area. #Sacramento used to be a sleepy farm town. Now the freeways are congested with cars.
-
#Sacramento (or areas of the Central Valley and foothill surrounding #Sac) is in a Red Flag warning for fire weather.
-
Apparently the US Navy’s Blue Angels air show team was in the #Sacramento area yesterday. Maybe that’s why the #Sac drivers seemed unusually erratic as I headed back to the #hotel.
