There's another annual charity Century down through the Sacramento Delta winery country, but it's usually to raise money for the Children's Home orphanage, not money for cancer research.
This whole town (Sacramento) has jumped into the cancer research and treatment business with both feet, up to the hips. Between UC Davis and Sutter. if you're gonna have cancer, this is the place to get it.

Whew, made it home! Sidewalks are coated in about a 1/4" of ice so I very carefully walked home, taking the grass/dirt routes where possible. It's super beautiful out with the full moon's light glistening offa everything. The wind is howling through the window screens.

Actually, it means a lot more than that, like not having an age distribution like an inverted pear, where a decreasing number of young workers support an increasing number of old people. Plus we're a resource-rich country that has traditionally thrived because people came here to build a better life, and they did. We get the ones who ae willing to take risks for a better life, and that helps propel us forward.

Yota had their rally stars create special edition Yarises (Yari? Yarix? Yareese?) with the drive modes of their choice. Kalle Rovanperä Edition GR Yaris has donut mode:

...hot cocoa here tonight. And it wasn't even really winter here today, with sun, a few clouds and a high in the upper 50's.

Made up a big pot of turnip soup beginning of the week, only to discover my wife does not like it.
More for me, I guess.

The catch: The buyer must create a “preservation easement” for 26 acres that includes the terraced building, two guard stations, a driveway and 4,800 parking slots. In short, the 51-year-old building must be preserved.
Uncle Sam has determined the Brutalistic-style, seven-story building designed by William Pereira has historic importance in its resemblance to “the ancient ziggurats.”
