Normalcy Returning
Winds are stronger this morning than yesterday, and while I can see some smoke over by Angora Ridge, it's reassuring to see a return to normalcy here. After dropping off my tree removal permit application at TRPA (the fire was strong encouragement to get some much needed defensible space projects completed), I stopped by the Rude Brothers, a local bagel bakery, and was pleasantly surprised to see a full parking lot and lots of bustle inside.
And while many people are up in arms about the decision to go forward with the 4th of July fireworks on the lake, I'm of the mindset that tourism is what sustains this town, and July is the biggest month, so why not try and minimize losses by encouraging visitors to come and spend money here?
