SendOutCards with Chris is a click away. I promise he has all the information about opportunities and more. He can even help you create your own sendoutcard with a personalized greeting.
Speaking of which, greetings from Laura in Mount Shasta. Way way up in Northern California, we know how we feel, but let’s see [...]
Happy to say, the first annual reunion of the Tatro boys (Chris, Kevin and Scott) was a huge success. Much golf was enjoyed by all. Only one club (Chris’ Taylor-Made driver) sustained lasting injuries (accidental) when it fell out of the bag that fell off the golf cart that Scott [...]

Living with a waning drinking supply has long been a fact of life for many countries. In the Western world, it’s a new, yet serious problem.
I’ve been really harping on our smoky air lately. Now I think I’ll go back to water—for the simple reason that one out of five people on this [...]
There is so much smoke in the air around Mount Shasta, Mount Eddy and the Shasta Valley that I’m feeling listless and quarrelsome. Maybe its oxygen deprivation.
The particulate matter is back in full force, obscuring everything in view. We might as well be in Beijing. There could easily be a (Bird’s [...]
It’s 8 A.M. July 24, 2008. Do you know where your smoke levels are?
Our smoke forecaster is behind a day. I’m disappointed. The Siskiyou County site is showing the July 23rd, 15:00 hours reading, 3 P.M. (if I understand military time). This is the clearest morning we’ve had in awhile, though—not flawless, mind [...]
There’s a new forecast in the air for Siskiyou County. I am excited! It’s called a smoke forecast:
Wednesday: Transport winds will primarily be from the north east today. This should keep smoke out of most areas of Siskyou County. For areas experiencing smoke, the worst smoke impacts will occur in the late [...]
Smoke came on little cat feet, drying and graying the green mountain folds. Where is our beloved southerly wind, we cried? Day over Mount Shasta breaks orange while we mourn the skies of yesteryears.
(Sorry, folks. But there’s nothing like the comfort of a melodramatic moment.)
Time’s Up! Chris and I have no [...]
Which way is the wind blowing this Monday morning? Are we struggling under the densest smoke imaginable or sputtering under the more transparent variety—–that is the question.
…Glory Hallelujah! We’re perched on the edge of the two. It’s a breather! The fires have burned 940,000 acres and destroyed 26 homes as of July 21, 2008. [...]
Smoke has contaminated the beauty we take for granted. We now have the hazy night with its orange moon, and the hazy day with its orange sun. Let’s check our smoke levels. They are in the black zone and the map says there is an unconfirmed fire near us.
Since we are not deemed [...]
Once again we are having a challenging day here on the slopes of Mount Shasta. Check out this extraterrestrial’s eye view of the great state of California, compliments of an interactive map from Weather Underground. As you can see, we sure could use some rain to clean our dirty air. [...]
