It's Fall in Chico

The seasons in Chico are a bit different that in other parts of the country. We have about 6 months of summer when it is always over 90 degrees and usually over 100 (if for some reason the temperature drops to 89, people put on their coats), 6 months of winter when it rains constantly, and the rest of the time is divided up between spring and fall. Usually it goes from the high nineties to heavy rain in a day. Right now for some reason the weather is good. Let's hear it for Global Weather Change. Way to go Al. If Chico had good weather all year round, it would be bigger than LA.

Anyway, the leaves are falling, time to rake and clean the rain gutters on an almost daily basis. Great weather for riding bikes. We can take and pick up Mia from school on our bikes. Most of the ride is through Bidwell Park and it is very lovely right now.

It is so nice to go on the trails and paths of this finest example of an urban forests. Chico is a good bike town: it's flat, lots of bike lanes, and the busy streets aren't that busy. We have a bike trailer which is handy when we go to the farmers market Saturday morning before synagogue. (I had to get something Jewy in this post)

And finally a picture of me (Oh, something else Jewy) taken by my wife. "Suck in your gut" she said sweetly before snapping the shot.

Life has been good lately.
