Greetings from Midtown Sacramento, where this morning broke bright and cold for the second day in a row. Don’t know about you but I’m ready for the warmth of spring. And trying to feel good about the rain that’s still to come.
The three articles that I’d like to share with you this week are related in a way that isn’t obvious, so let me explain.
• In a blog that we often use to share what we’re doing and why we’re doing it, CALocal’s CEO/director of product, Chris Neklason, presents some new features, and describes exactly how they are designed to help you Discover, Connect and Act.
• Sam Boykin, whom some of you will recall as a reporter and editor at the great Sacramento Business Journal (he now resides in San Antonio, TX), reports on a heroic effort to bring political conservatives and liberals together in conversation.
• Our own Jon Vankin presents a yarn of an Explainer about the history and current state of the State of Jefferson secessionist movement. As you will see, this involves a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter drinking heavily with the founder of that movement on the last night of that man’s life.
There. See the connections? No? Well, read on.
