Just one other note.... I don't usually get political, but I heard today about California's State Parks quite possibly being axed and think it is so wrong. They do have a cost but bring in way more than they cost in revenue. Shouldn't money-making things definitely NOT be cut if we need to have more money? If you'd like to learn more or weigh in, please visit this website and send your own message directly to the relevant decision makers. Act now! June 2nd is a big meeting. Our Sequoia Park Zoo in Eureka is also in danger... get involved if you care.... Please do care!
Heading into Summer shimmies,
Shoshanna |
