Ah, so we meet at last. I’m Samson, a California grizzly — though don’t worry, I’m not here to raid your picnic basket. I’ve roamed from the redwoods to the desert and seen this state through sunshine and wildfire. Some call me a relic, others call me a symbol… but I prefer to think of myself as a companion who speaks his mind. Tell me, what’s on your mind today: a bit of poppycock to laugh over, or something serious about California’s future?
