Hi, all, and happy Sunday! We’re experiencing a bit of everything here at my house today—heavy rain from Tropical storm Hillary, an earthquake, and a bug that’s got my husband laid out and Mj just recovering. But despite all of this I’m feeling super good after reading the below list of all of the excellent, amazing, and hopeful stuff that happened this week. It’s been another good one!
I, my two brothers, my daughter and two nieces are all grateful products of the Fairfax County, VA, school system. Hooray for the decision to stay away from the ridiculous rulings of Governor Youngkin!

Exciting news from the very small town of Mosier, Oregon, pop. 500. Challenged by a series of environmental challenges, plus a school that needed major retrofitting, the town has begun using private and public funds to embrace green energy in sustainable, job-producing ways. https://www.opb.org/article/2023/08/15/mosier-oregon-green-energy-fossil-fuels/
Thanks Jessica, your Extra Extra messages hit my inbox on Monday (we're ahead of you timewise here in Italy) and reading them is an essential part of my Monday morning ritual. Thanks for all you do!
Ciao from Italy Janet - this is such great news! Just a reminder for all the folks in the CO 3rd district - if you know people who are living or studying abroad THEY CAN VOTE! Our overseas votes can be the margin of victory. But we have to register and request our overseas ballots - it's a simple process actually just go to https://votefromabroad.org - in Colorado the entire process can be done via email! https://www.votefromabroad.org/states/CO. Best wishes, Kelly!

I could not access any of the links in this article. I clicked on about 10 of them.
Hmmmm did anyone else have that problem?
I had no problem. I use an iPad.
Whooooaaa! Amazing! I’ll put that in next week’s too!
Sure will! Actually do you have a link to a news article about her bad fundraising? This one is taing a slightly different angle.
Perfect! Thank you!
