Arnold, CA...Another almost perfect summer weather week awaits for us ahead. We have all heard the stories about those fleeing California for "greener pastures" elsewhere.

The administrations in Sacramento will come and go and thankfully they haven't yet destroyed our weather or the beautiful vistas outside our doors. Since the 1849 and the Gold Rush began California was the place where dreams were made. With work maybe it can be again...
