Submitted by paula on Mon, 12/21/2020 - 10:14am
Christmas started early for this guy once the pandemic hit. I put my Christmas lights up over the 4th of July and for a short while started watching Christmas movies too to try and get that feel-good feeling happening. Okay, I also did it because I wanted to watch movies where no one was wearing a mask and hugging one another without fear of being exposed.

Submitted by paula on Fri, 09/11/2020 - 10:03am
As ashes fell delicately from a blazing orange sky earlier this week, Lake Tahoe got a jarring glimpse of just one of the threats of the climate crisis.

More drought means more dead trees, and hotter summers mean a longer and more
severe fire season.
