Lots at stake here in OR, especially as relates to public education, in particular teachers. Telling her it will help you take care of her really brings 97 home IMHO. I greatly admire your commitment to our schools and students, as you doubtless already know. Hope your year's going good thus far. I'm grateful to Bernie and the role he played in defining the Dems' platform. On to the future!

Aren't the mountains gorgeous, all covered in that much-needed white stuff? Let's hope it sticks around!

Cheers.
