It’s About the Kids…
January 30, 2019
It’s Wednesday morning. I’ve had a double cappuccino and a banana and I’m hoping that wakes me up for my day.

It’s the morning of our first real snow in Plumas County—though by midday it will be melting as it does in our new climate reality. Nothing holds forever. Nothing sticks.
