As California keeps being unpleasantly cold and wet (California cold, not real cold), it’s definitely time to get cozy in front of the fireplace.

By popular request of a single unnamed individual, here’s proof for a certain member of our IT team’s contribution to Movember. (I apologize in advance for the upcoming pun:) If you don’t like mustaches, give it time: They grow on you.

Time to revisit Day 80′s photo: No blooms, just plenty of fallen leaves and (what feels like) freezing temperatures. Brrr. Now, I realize that at 15 degrees (Celsius), this isn’t really as cold as I make it sound, but this is California, isn’t it supposed to be warmer?

As is customary right after Thanksgiving, Christmas tree sellers are popping up all over the place, like this one in Mountain View. Also, I clearly need a more “American-sized” vehicle so that I can drag one of these home more easily…

This family of chickens looks pretty bummed out about the torrential downpour of Hawaiian rain they had to endure there.

A family of tourists, getting ready to watch the sun set on the Pacific coast. I love silhouette photos like this: It’s fun to see the different characters with their body shapes and postures.

The fun thing about this picture is that it was so light out that it accommodated a 1/8000s exposure time, thus the drops of water and sand as well as the jumpers’ legs turned out really crisp.
