The sensationalist title that may attract some and repel others. It's just that for me, this past week seemed like 'Bay-Delta Week'. Thus the post's title.
Our Bay-Delta committee had a good meeting in Sacramento. We had a great NRC staff there helping us: Laura Helsabeck, Steve Parker, David Policansky, and Ellen De Guzman. And back home, Sarah Brennan got us a great place to stay, very conducive to work. When you have staffers like them, it makes a huge difference.
I'm fried, but very satisfied. Sometimes I really love the work I do.
