If you are on a PC, RIGHT click on the photo, scroll down to “Open image in new tab”. Then look at your new tab, you will have your high res photo.

The beautiful old Benbow Ranch House is right across the golf course from my house, and that was the view that I woke up to this morning. Moments later we heard a PG&E fuse blow and the lights went out. They are still off.

I turned off all the uninterruptible power supplies. Built a big fire in the wood heater, turned on the battery powered LED lights, heated the coffee on the wood stove, made myself a big bowl of shredded wheat with cinnamon and sugar on it. Then, I took my wife to work and took snow pictures.

Life is great… I wonder what the city people are doing today?

Probably worrying about the crumby stuff Trump is doing in the White House.
