We woke up to a white wonderland this morning, after a tiny first-of-the-season snow yesterday.  David, Cash, and I had to go to town today via the hair-raising turns of Golden Gate Canyon, un-plowed.  Soon after, we found out the roads to home closed behind us due to accidents, and the power had gone out […]
