In a country full of “Me” we need to shift that narrative to “We”. Chad of the Valley@HarmsWayChad

Good Morning Friends!

The Superbowl is on its way to LA, and they are expecting a windfall of cash infusion of an estimated $477 Million. Not bad for one Sunday.

There’s talk of a gold rush again, and we have the story below along with the ones above and more.

Be Well! Stay Safe!

L.A.’s Estimated $477 Million Super Bowl: Here Are the Big Winners Off the Field

But it won’t all be good clean fun. The American Gaming Association predicts that more than 23 million Americans will place at least $4.3 billion in legal and illegal bets on the game this year and imbibe more than $2 billion worth of alcohol.

Finally, no Super Bowl would be complete without tailgating, but while the Rams allow the tradition, the Super Bowl does not. For fans who just can’t cope without a watery Sea Breeze served from the back of a Land Rover, Tailgater Concierge will operate in the SoFi parking lot on game day, where, for $450, you can lounge outside on leather couches, drink cocktails, and eat as much as you can stand.

The Gold Rush Returns to California

On the outskirts of the northern California town of Grass Valley, a massive concrete silo looms over the weeds and crumbling pavement. Nearby, unseen, a mine shaft drops 3,400 feet into the earth. These are the remains of Grass Valley’s Idaho-Maryland Mine, a relic from the town’s gold mining past. Numerous mines like this one once fueled Grass Valley’s economy, and today, Gold Rush artifacts are part of the town’s character: A stamp mill, once used to break up gold-bearing rock, now guards an intersection on Main Street, and old ore carts and other rusty remnants can be spotted in parking lots and storefronts around town.
