My state is on fire. Yesterday, we stood atop a butte & saw smoke rising from a forest below—a new wildfire had just started 12.5 miles from where we stood. The moment you realize that your state is burning around you is surreal. What we do now matters. What legacy will you, me, we leave behind us?
