who did this? 😂

This morning, Owen left for his senior year at Univ. of Chicago. That was quick... today, empty nest begins...

The LA Times just published an OpEd I wrote on what we can do to respond to the problem of catastrophic wildfire. latimes.com/opinion/story/…

Happy to report that our oldest son, Owen, is now a graduate of the University of Chicago, with a degree in math and computer science. He has moved to Louisville, KY and entered an Americorps program to teach high school math this Autumn in the Jefferson County public schools.

This image from Josh Edelson of a snowmaking machine being used to help fight the #CaldorFire in the Lake Tahoe Basin is without question one of the images of the year.

The Feather River Watershed supplies the largest reservoir in the State Water Project which 27m Californians & 750k acres of farmland rely on. In 2020 & 2021 it 🔥 like never before creating significant risks for 💧 quality & timing from the loss of 🌲cover. #CAfire #CAwater

Remarkable obituary in today’s paper.

Thoughtful article by @dakasler about the complexities of insuring homes in California's high-fire risk areas.

Big day. 25th anniversary. It's been a long time since we took this photo on our honeymoon in Mendocino...

#Wildfires are continuing in the western states, even with a decrease recently. IBHS is using our research to establish steps for homeowners to reduce their risk through landscaping and other home-based tasks. #disasterprep #disasterpreparedness #CAwx

This really happened on the bootleg fire…

"’We're assuming that it would slow the fire down enough to allow more time for evacuations, and allow more time for emergency services to muster and do what they need to do,’ Ryan Luster, a senior project director at TNC, says.” via BBC 📰 nature.ly/3Ts0K0h

On this day, we are thankful for the little white dot just below Saturn's rings. That's us! (You look great, btw,.) Seen from a billion miles away, Earth shines bright. Happy Thanksgiving, friends. We're glad you're here.

Patrolling the Truckee Area today be like… 🥶😳 ‼️I-80 eastbound remains closed at Applegate and westbound is closed at the Nevada State line‼️No estimated time of reopening. (3/01/23 6:00am)

Cool tidbit from the Columbus regional: Since Fairleigh Dickinson doesn't have a band, Dayton's band has stepped up. The UD band learned FDU's fight song minutes before tip Fri. Today, they're waving around plastic swords they got from Party City as they root for the Knights

This is going to be a great conversation for those interested in learning more about the evolving wildfire and home insurance situation in California.

With Bob Knight passing away it’s almost a must to watch his speech where he talks about trying get on Michael Jordan’s ass in the locker room. An absolute classic! RIP

For those interested in homeowners’ insurance issues in California, here’s my best efforts to explain things. youtu.be/J6kPZgNdpOo
