The Drought in California

When I went to Sacramento last August, California was in its drought. I remember brilliantly sunny skies, but it was never blazingly hot, as we were told to expect. And now there is even less water. (I still plan to write about my trip. It's too significant not to.)

Residents Conserving Water During Drought.

There's No Place Like Home

I went to the mainland for the first time last week Thursday and stayed till this Tuesday. Specifically, I went with my father, sister, and a family friend to attend my uncle's funeral. He died earlier this month and, upon getting the news, my family made plans to travel to Sacramento, where my uncle had lived for many years.

This trip was not only my first trip to the mainland, but it was the first off-island one I've taken in the twenty-first century and the first since the TSA was established.

Much more soon.
