ANR Adventures

I hope everyone has power restored. At least we don't have the temperatures to accompany the winter storm that those along the Eastern Seaboard are facing. We presented the updated strategic plan to President Drake this week. I believe it was well received by him.

The view of the snow pack from my garage window has improved somewhat over the weekend, in part due to snow fall and in part due to less fog. It is great to see snowfall at the lower elevations and rain across many areas of the state.

It is shaping up to be a long, short week. I know we are all anxious to see how the week unfolds. So far, so good. The combination of prolonged COVID and national unrest is getting to all of us, inspiring retirements and departures in unexpected places.

The U.S. is in a strange place. If it weren't enough to have a pandemic we can't seem to get under control because we can't stay away from crowds, now we can worry about what might happen between now and Inauguration Day. I don't know what to make of the assault of the Capitol.

Happy 2021 everyone! My realistic hope is that 2021 has fewer surprises than popped up in 2020.
