    Good job

    The land east of San Ramon is an epic battleground between old and new in the starkest way: wheat farmers and ranchers, on rain-fed land, versus big-box luxury "homes" with immense infrastructure. Thanks for bringing it to life so well. Old-timers in the Bay area have a ringside seat on a microcosm of the whole world's predicament. Around here, thinking locally is a good analogy of thinking globally. It's important to see things from a bicycle or on foot.
