Had a pretty good storm in Berkeley last night. Didn’t last all that long, but at one point, maybe 2:30 in the morning or so, the rain was pounding down hard enough that it woke me up (I found a couple local weather stations that recorded rain comiing down briefly at the rate of 4 inches an hour). Today was clear except for towering cumulus off in the distance. This big bank of clouds rose up to the east, beyond the hills, late in the afternoon. I just missed the most dramatic moment, but here’s how it looked from the corner just up the street from us.
"You want it to be one way. But it's the other way."
Gee, that looks biblical, especially with the electric pole off to the right looking like a cross. That is an electric pole, right?
Yep. That’s an electric pole. Or a power pole. Or a telephone pole. Or you could call it a utility pole.
