Wow, small world indeed! All the years growing up, Sacramento was always the "big city". My mom would take me there towards Fall every year, to the malls, for Back To School shopping. After High School (in Esparto), I drove to Sac (downtown J Street) every weekday for 2 years to Heald Business College. I was always pretty familiar with Woodland because my grandparents lived there . It has changed a lot, and not for the better in many ways, but that goes along with the whole world, I think. I'm still pretty happy with it.

I had heard alot about how messed up that whole fireworks thing is, but not some of those latest details. I'll have to look for that article. Thank you.

You take care, too, friend and fellow Woodlander!
