Just an old, old hippie trying hard to adjust. I live my life by the cowboy code of hard work, honesty, and knowing right is the same as doing right. I'm a blue soul in the heart of the blood red hinterlands tying knots in the Devil's tail.

The crazy weather patterns.
In Gardnerville, NV we have received about 2.63" of rain since September.
Death Valley has received 2.41" of rain since September, which is more than Death Valleys typical annual rainfall.
If this continues into late spring, Death Valley will see a super bloom.
