The drought is over. Two days after the fog came rain. This is the first real day of rain in about six months; I've always found it amazing that all the plants manage to live without direct rainfall for so long.

The photo you see is Latimer Hall. It stands on the site of the original U. C. Radiation Laboratory, used by Edward Teller after WWII when he was perfecting the hydrogen bomb (see Teller-Ulam design). So right now, the site where the original fusion/fission H-bomb was designed, is being rained on. And I should be going to journal club.

The building is currently in use by the College of Chemistry for less clandestine experiments, like synthetic chemistry and Raman spectroscopy.
