These photos were taken in Temescal Canyon just hours after the end of Tropical Storm Hilary. I tried to replicate the exact angles from Friday, before the storm. You can see that everything is wet, and there are broken branches and a few rocks strewn about. But the flow of water is basically unchanged in the lower reaches. There was a noticeable difference at the waterfall. I am left to conclude that the stream is fed primarily by a spring rather than from runoff. If that is the case, I would expect to see more water in the lower reaches later in the week. I will try to return to take more photos then.
Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
