Beautiful east of MYERS Flat.
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.
Life is great!
Hating their commute and wishing it was Friday as they stare at the taillights of all the cars in front of em.
Garberville, just before the sun came up above the tree line.
Any pictures of greenhouses crushed by snow showing marihuana plants covered with a white blanket?
Grow fail pron if it’s out there, please.
Lame.
