People who live at the beach get to see shit like this every day. It’s unfair. If I wanted to see this at home, I would have to climb up on my roof, and even then, I probably wouldn’t be able to see it through the mountains to the west.

To think, the wealthy used to eschew the beach. Only paupers built their houses on the worthless sand. Oh, how times have changed. Now the poor go broke trying to live here. I can see the allure.

I was thinking this morning that it would be cool to take a picture every day in 2025. It wasn’t a binding resolution or even a goal. It was just a thought that having 365 deliberately shot photos on December 31, 2025, would be kind of cool. I could even put them all in a book or an album or something. Then, I spent the rest of the day not taking a single picture. I even sat on the patio and watched a beautiful sunset that I can’t show you because I didn’t take a picture of it.

To add another layer of confusion to this whole thing, I thought to myself while I was watching the sunset that I should take a picture of this sunset so I’ll at least have one picture for the first day of the new year and then, I did nothing. I just watched the sun sink into the ocean.

After the last little spark of sunlight disappeared behind the waves, Bonnie suggested we go for a ride along the beach. As we began our ride, I thought about how it was too late now to get a good picture. That bummed me out. It would have been so easy to snap a picture of that beautiful sunset, but I let the opportunity pass me by.

But then, the horizon turned the most vibrant scarlet-orange gradient, and a crescent moon sat just above it. It was even more stunning than the sunset 30 minutes earlier.

New Year's Day Sunset 2025

So, that’s one down, 364 to go. Thank the lord for that L.A. smog.
