Also, Thanksgiving dinner at the Sierra Pines Resort would have made Grandma proud, God rest her soul. A loving grandma who bakes and cooks from the heart is a blessing that, unfortunately, not everyone experiences - but you can experience the Sierra Pines Resort, and maybe you’ll see a mountain lion on the way!

When it comes to relationships, jobs, and more, “What we do not change, we choose!” Chew on that for a minute, then swallow a strong dose of accountability! This entry reminds me of the “upcoming transition of Commissioner John ‘Jason’ LaChance to serve as Superior Court Judge.” Commissioner LaChance was elected on March 5, 2024, and will officially be sworn in on Monday, January 6, 2025, at 11:00 AM - and could be the judge on this case!

Granted, a zombie apocalypse could force me into the wild, but until then, certain activities are a hard pass! Stay safe, snowmobilers! Check out tomssnowmobile.com or (530) 994-3522... they’re great!

18:08 - Downieville resident on Gold Bluff Road passed away. Condolences. My 5th-grade son is mourning the loss of his classmate Jaxson, who died last week from brain cancer. Josiah said, “I’m too shocked to cry.” That’s heavy. Yes, many are mourning losses - so don’t be a jerk face! Return your cart, don’t scream at the barista, grocery, or retail clerk, back off the driver ahead of you, and be patient at your post office waiting in line!
