The General's Digs and Thoughts on California History (HFF)

While in Sonoma last week, I decided to drop in and see how General Vallejo was doing. Not much had changed as the old general passed away in 1890, but his former house was looking quite chipper. The house is now a California historical site, and they tend to pay a little more attention to cosmetics under those circumstances.

 

Sonoma is a great place for soaking in the culture that existed during the Mexican period in California. California has a colorful history replete with fascinating events with savory and sometimes not so savory individuals. Check it out. California is a far cry different than the myopic slander that's being promoted by our current commander in chief. And that's all I will ever say about that. :-)

 

Happy Fence Friday everyone.

I will be away for the next week or so. Marg and I are taking a run up the California coast to make sure that all is well along our northern coastline. CYA when ICYA.
