Just above Fresno, we got brutal winds and two feet of snow, breaking countless trees. I am still filing claims for property damage to windows, roof and driveway. Making progress.

For me personally, the most beautiful Manzanita tree, some 20 feet tall, was leveled. Only fortunate part is that I got great photos of it "prior".

Yeah, too damn hot. I'm putting a tagine on the back stairs to make Morrocan stew.
