The Farallones are a group of islands about ~27 miles, pretty much due west of the Golden Gate Bridge. They're not huge but you can see them with the naked eye from the top of Mt Diablo about 50 miles away. There's a scientific research station on the largest one but due to their rocky coast (and environmental law) they're difficult or impossible to visit by boat.

This all comes from an era where the prevailing thought was the solution for pollution is dilution.
I’m mostly ok, have the normal number of arms and legs. Only had one tumor, and just a few endocrine issues. Nothing major, it’s all good.
