As a lot of the eastern half of the country spent the day gazing–safely, we hope–at the eclipse–it was a yawn here. Only a sliver of the sun was blocked this morning. But –if you wait 21 years in the morning of August 12, 2045, we’ll get the big show. The path of totality will come ashorein North America around Cape Mendocino, and places like Willits will be among the first places in the US right in the zone. Get your glasses now.
You’ll see a credit on your electric and natural gas bills this month. It’s part of the state’s cap and trade program that rewards customers of electric utilities that participate. The P U C says the credits are automatic. Because the credit cycle doesn’t always coincide with the billing cycle it may not show up until your next statement. The Credit is applied every spring and fall. The next one is in October. PGE&E customers should see a credit of $55.17–regardless of your bill.
If you think you know trivia, you’ll want to check out a challenge later this month. The Lake County Symphony Association is hosting its inaugural Team Trivia fundraiser on April 27 at the Soper-Reese Theatre. 20 four-person teams will take part as an audience looks on. The questions start at 7 PM. You can find out more at the Soper-Reese Theater website.
