Dear California
Thanks for the lovely weather. You are truly a state of incredible contrasts. In California so many people live the good life. Or they are desperately poor, or they are one of one of the largest prison populations in the world. California, where farms overflow with bounty, and fires rage through canyons and there isn't enough water. California, where farm labor is done by the original Californians, those that have not been deported, and unemployment and bankruptcy are at an all time high. California, who took the time to build the beautiful American River trail bursting with wildlife and no cars allowed.
Thanks California, for sharing your bounty with me for a few days. It's hard to understand what to feel besides gratitude and being overwhelmed.
