8. Excellent choices!

I've attended several of Ursula's author presentations when she's been over this way. What a delight she is! Her two books of poetry featuring Southeastern Oregon are among my favorites and bring a sense of peace and calm to my soul--Incredible Good Fortune and Out Here.

I think Bernie Bird was a #1 winner on the KOIN TV website "Person of the Year" the other day. He would be near the top of my list as well. And Ashton--well, he's in a class all his own, needless to say. How lucky are we that he's a local.

Hope you've survived the wintry weather with no major negative impact. Not looking forward to 2017 of course. We do have our work cut out for us, those who've joined The Revolution. Stay strong!
