Hey neighbors!

We are deep in the Fall vibes this weekend…planning Halloween costumes, watching Harry Potter movies, making pumpkin pancakes, decorating the house, etc.

The South Bay is overflowing with things to do, the beach breezes are nice and cool, and a new week is here.

Let’s get into it!

I’ll be honest, I am 10x more excited for fall to show up this year so I can have more fun writing this section…because it’s basically the same “morning fog, afternoon sun” routine every week. Mornings will shuffle in all cloudy and indecisive, but by noon the sun shows up like it forgot it could take the day off. Temps hang in the 70s early, then crank toward the upper 70s and dare we say maybe a flirt with 80°F inland. Torrance? You’re getting the heat memo loud and clear, expect some serious “is this too warm?” moments.

While our family in Kansas is posting about crunchy leaves and pumpkin patches; we’re over here sweating in flip-flops like summer just refused to leave. Welcome to local summer, extended cut.
