Toys, creativity, and a gift that keeps on giving
While tech toys aren’t required for a good time… oooh boy can they be fun!
And who knew that Lance’s Christmas in March column (in recent issue #100 of The Simplifier) would translate into a fun creativity outlet around here?
What’s it all mean? Well, friendly Santa Lance and his trusty canine reindeer sidekicks made a surprise [...]
Merry Merry Merry!
Let’s get merry, people. Actually, let’s make that a capital M for some major Merry making!
Friends and family are gathered, card games are being played, food is in the oven, truffles on the table, and shrimp dip is on the way (my favorite accompaniment to Ruffles and the one time a year I indulge). [...]

Our little town of Nevada City, California has a population of about 3,000. We’re in the midst of a segment of Nevada County that has some 100,000 people.
Community is the theme that’s popping up around here: Community garden, Nevada City Farmers Market, Sustainability and education center, Alliance for Post Petroleum Local Economy, Community Congress … [...]
