Scotts Valley Times: March 2010

SV1003webcoverA few weeks ago, a couple of my kids and I attended a pancake breakfast at the Scotts Valley Senior Center. While we were there I talked with two people, Virginia and Rose, who asked me why the city, which has historically been very frugal with its spending, picked a fiscal climate like today’s in which to build a new, larger library.

Aptos Times: Mid-February 2010

A21002webcoverEver see a flamingo in the wild? (No, not the plastic pink flamingo in your front yard). Based on an article in the St. Petersburg Times, to see a flamingo in the wild in the U.S. is a very rare event. According to the National Audubon Society in Florida, to see a live flamingo in the wild is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Well, check this out! Over the past week of doing my early morning winter rowing training on the Elkhorn Slough near Moss Landing, I spotted what I thought was a flamingo! When I asked a couple of other rowers who were with me, they looked at me like I must be hallucinating.
