CELEBRATING CONTRA COSTA COUNTY

Posted:  4 Apr 13

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND?

Purpose

Workload permitting, I hope to start accumulating, here, some of the fascinating things I'm discovering, every day, about this blessed territory and the people who adorn it -- BECAUSE WE ALL DESERVE AND NEED TO KNOW AND APPRECIATE THE GREAT THING LIFE HAS PLACED IN OUR HANDS AND SURROUNDED US WITH!

As you can see, I haven't gone much farther than introducing this blog-feature.  But, at least you know what's coming down the pike.  Stand by.  (Unless I figure out some better way to do this)

THE POLITICAL LEADERSHIP

• CC COUNTY: Supervisor Glover's Winter/Spring 2013 Newsletter (3/29/13)

Apologies to the other Supervisors.  I'm working my way in your direction.  There is a burning desire to know all there is to know and to celebrate all the good there is to celebrate -- and help marshal the forces to overpower more and more of the bads -- or make a darned good stab at it.
