"It turns out a scooter that was plugged in for charging had its batteries explode and scattered throughout the garage. Some of the batteries ricochet to the garage door, others were all the way inside the garage."

Apparently a massive fish kill of some sort in Leadbetter Beach (Santa Barbara) via multiple sources -- John Palmientieri says grunion, but it could also be mackeral or anchovy IMHO. #fishkill#SantaBarbara
Had a great seat at #UCSB ArtsandLectures talk with #chefjoseandres tonight. (Couldn't take photos during) My faith in humankind was slowly brought back to life.

Santa Barbara's home prices are (and have always been) so out of reach for folks who are not independently wealthy. It's a wonder anyone is available to even work fast food there. Nearly all the engineers (highly paid, mind you) working at companies there commute from out of the area for this reason. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/03/21/realestate/21hunt-zero.html#realestate#SantaBarbara
