Inner Coast Range
Flag Hill at Sunol Wilderness is a slab of ancient sea floor which, in response to pressure from below, was tilted up more on one side than the other, revealing a cross-section of its sedimentary layers.
The hill shows a vegetation pattern typical of the inner coast ranges. During summer, the hot sun dries the south-facing slope. Only grassland and soft chaparral can survive under these conditions. On the north-facing slope where moisture lasts longer, trees thrive.
Sunol is one of the most beautiful parks in the Bay Area.

How close are we to the brink of something? Or how close to a shore? Electrical essences in the basement! Do you realize how much things have changed in the past two centuries?

The Rule of 3 is a writing principle that suggests that a trio of entities such as events or characters is more
- humorous
- satisfying
- effective.
Three entities combines both brevity and rhythm with having the smallest amount of information to create a pattern.
The rule has been confirmed by anthropological experts as an archetypal principle that works on three levels:
- sentences
- situations
- stories.
