ANR Adventures

The year 2020 is almost behind us! We made it through a crazy, crazy year that, in 2019, might have seemed like some sort of virtual reality game. There is a lot to be said for just having survived it. Fortunately, despite the ups and downs, UC ANR more than survived, budget aside, we thrived.

The San Joaquin Valley sits below 6 percent ICU capacity. As a resident of the Valley with my mother in my household, this is worrisome. I have cancelled all of my travel plans for the winter break.

Today is a special day for Mary Blackburn.

Time flies, even from the garage. I am grateful for that; I like to be busy during all waking moments. November was busy enough that December has caught me by surprise. Tomorrow, December 1 is Giving Tuesday! There are many worthy causes and greater need this year than last.
