"in an infinite capsize"

California's drought cannot be ignored. Bernal Hill turned golden before the summer solstice. The reservoirs are so low you double take as you fly by on the highway. Yet the waves still crash on Ocean Beach with their insistent roar, reminding you of the only line you can ever recall from that poem about the ancient mariner you were made to read in high school. This week's playlist floats with the current of its watery theme. Happy swimming!
