Real Californians never visit Yosemite National Park
because it's corny, and only foreigners and fat out-of-staters
in RVs would go there.
However, it's well worth a look, not the least
for the sake of the climate change. Check out
the hijinks at "Bridalveil Falls." This fabled landmark is
supposed to be thin and wispy, like a 'bridal veil,'
okay?

This torrent is not the falls; it's water being blown sideways
OFF the falls.

Those are my feet. I'm ankledeep in freezing floodwater,
on a paved walkway about thirty feet from the viewing
platform. The Falls themselves were invisible, just
a huge blinding gush of fog.
