Observation

Today the tide was as high as I've ever seen it in the Mission Bay canal. Usually high tide puts the 2 in the sign reading "1/2" underwater but leaves the 1 untouched, but today the whole fraction was submerged. Not only that, the high tide line showed that the tide was receding, and the full tide had been about a foot higher than that! I wonder if it's because of a storm surge.

There were sea lions in the canal too. (Two of them actually, which I regard as a good omen. ;)) I never saw sealions in the canal until a few months ago; I wonder if something has changed to make it more congenial to them.
