Life Amongst the Landscape, Unexpected Inspiration, Life as Art, Travel and More
Today is Election Day and I’m hoping you cast your votes and then tune out the subsequent noise that is sure to follow. The prediction is that the coming weeks (probably longer) will be filled with lots of drama. My advice: walk away. Literally. It is very exciting to see such an energized, record setting, …
Tomorrow is Election Day and no matter which side of the isle you sit on, how (dis)engaged you are in the media coverage, or even if you don’t care, there is an incredible amount of angst circulating thru the air. Polarization will do that. Families and friendships are being torn apart by differing opinions. Covid …
Some things are beyond our control. The recent power grab for RBG’s Supreme Court seat is a painful reminder. Although this partisan double standard is not within our direct control, there is something that is, and that is our constitutional right to vote. If you have already voted, I thank you. If you have not …

We are just 11 days until Election Day. I don’t know about you, but last night’s debate lost my interest. We made it thru the first 90 minutes then turned it off. That’s twice as long as our watch of the first debate. I’ve already voted so I wasn’t watching to make up my mind. …

As Baxter and I walked this morning I was thinking about Ballot security and all the chaos the administration has purposely cast around it. I submitted our ballots yesterday by putting them into one of the 10 Official Ballot Drop Boxes placed around our county. After hearing from a friend that she had mailed hers …
After a very busy weekend Trinidad returned to its sleepy self and was quiet this morning. Trinidad State Beach was packed this past weekend because of the amazing weather we experienced. It seems like half the county flocked to the beach. Unlike the weekend, a wet fog rolled in and blocked the sun this morning. …
By 10 am on this October 16, 2020 morning it was 70 degrees with no wind in Trinidad, California. Trinidad is located 1.5 hours south of the Oregon border on the Northern CA Coast. As Baxter and I walked the headland there was hot air brushing across my face and arms. I was warm in …

The United States Forest Service (USFS) and the other agencies who manage our beautiful public lands (NPS, BLM) have an important campaign called, “leave no trace behind.” Essentially the campaign encourages people to be responsible and pack out whatever you bring with you and to be considerate of others when taking advantage of recreational areas. …
