We finally broke ground a month ago, and the experts at https://www.playgroundflooring.org/ will be pouring the concrete on Tuesday. After that, the concrete will need to be cured for 30 days before the rubber mats, jungle gym equipment and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramp may be installed.…

This storm resulted in heavy runoff and washed precious soil into the ocean. The water will be muddy until the dirt settles on the bottom and that’s not good. The drought had already left its mark.

Everything is connected. A less-than-average flow of artesian water percolating along the coast can adversely affect the fisheries habitat, resulting in a lower than average hatching of fingerlings or pua.…
