Road Construction In North Lake Tahoe & Truckee
May 21, 2010
Hard to believe it but it is almost summer. As I write this post, it is snowing outside but the highway construction has already begun. They say that there are only 2 seasons in the Truckee-Lake Tahoe area: Winter and Road Construction Season but with snow in May, it seems that they are merging. Check it out here:

10,000 Steps per Day Challenge
May 2, 2010
Well May is going to shape up as a walking month for me. I have challenged myself to participate in The Tahoe Forest Center for Health and Human Performance (big name for my gym) sponsored program that asks us to walk 10,000 steps a day. It is only 2 days into the program but so far so good. This morning I walked the Legacy Trail and things are beginning to shape up there also after a LONG, LONG winter. Check it out.

April Fool’s Day – 2010
March 31, 2010
April Fool’s Day came early this year as we all woke up this morning (3-31) to snow after a rather large winter storm passed through Truckee and Tahoe last night. We got about 6 inches of fresh powder and the temperatures dipped to the 20’s (f).
The skiers are happy, I am sure. It must be one of the best ski days of the year and those who happened to be up here — mid-week — were treated to a great little present from heaven. The thing about “spring” snow is that it melts off so fast that those who will wait til Saturday will be disappointed. However, the weather service is predicting some more snow before Easter but I wouldn’t count on it. Right now the sky is Tahoe Blue.

Pat Sutton – In Memorian
February 1, 2010
Truckee lost a true public servant on Saturday night January 30, 2010. Pat Sutton, Mother, Wife, Business Owner, and Public Servant in this wonderful mountain town of Truckee, California was and always will be for me a real stand up person.
Pat was a real role model for all of us citizens. She was profoundly ethical and forever the representative of the people. Always questioning to be sure that she was doing the best to represent her constituents.
Pat served in various capacities over the years here in Truckee but will best be remembered (at least by me) as a director on the Truckee Donner Public Utility District Board. She also had a stint as a Supervisor with Nevada County from 1981 until 1985 and served on the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board from 1982 – 1986.
My memories of Pat mostly involve her tenacious review of PUD technical reports at board meetings. Others in the audience would squirm with disinterest and impatience because they were forced to sit and wait until she was entirely satisfied with the explanation so that she could render an educated decision. She seemed to revel in holding the room “hostage” while she asked many questions that had only long, arduous and, I might add — boring answers. The district employee giving the report would, of course comply and the rest of the room would sleep while Pat sought satisfactory answers.
I will also miss the real and human side of Pat Sutton. Great sense of humor, friendly and welcoming — always a great ambassador of Truckee.
Goodbye Pat, I will miss seeing you occasionally in the post office or talking to you once in a while when you answered the phone at Robert Sutton Paving. Another Icon leaves this earth a better place.
