Oh Governor Moonbeam, I will miss you...
The Governor of California, Jerry Brown, is hated by some, tolerated by many, and appreciated by various folk. Part of the Brown family who were active in government in 20th- and (so far) in 21st-century California, I was happy to see him step back into the Governor's Office a few years ago, his second round as Governor. Now limited by the term-limits statutes enacted since he was Governor for the first time, he prepares for 'retirement'.
(in the 1970s, his then-girlfriend, Linda Ronstadt, once referred to him using the word "Moonbeam", perhaps "Governor Moonbeam", and I liked that when he ran again. The political craziness of those days, I would just say to others, "I want Governor Moonbeam back". It felt appropriate for Queen Meg to go focus on corporate things, like splitting up Hewlett Packard)
Who of you have been in Williams, California, the byline for this article? At the end of 2011, I nearly drove up to Williams--I was seeking Interstate 505 as I drove north from Davis on I-5, but there is no transition road nor sign for 505, so I blithely drove up to Dunnigan.
Northern California is another world...
