It’s sounds like a lot of fun… and, oh, those firemen. There isn’t anyone in my neighborhood who doesn’t love these brave public servants, after last October in the North Bay. It’s a private estate, so there’s some sense of agriculture and a bit away from the madding crowd. Plus, who doesn’t love cornhole? The North Bay of California is pretty special, and we know it, since people come from all over the world to visit. And, I know some of you more naturalists like it, when it’s a bit away from complete glitz and glitter.
