Sometimes it's hard to see where the current events are taking us. But sometimes what we need to do is look back and see how we got here. Because history is our road-map in life. And it is history that tells the story of the bombing of Lake Tahoe.
Episode 13 - The Atomic Goose
Everybody is somebody and trying to figure out who carries more historical significance can be a complicated process. It can be easy to think of these figures as being static but in actuality they can be incredibly dynamic and their true significance may not be truly understood until moments are considered by the next generation.

This is the story of how their work and legacy quite literally changed the California landscape, influencing our nation for the past 100 years.

People pour a lot of themselves into their work. For some it may be a purity of effort while others pack along their influences and perspective. It is all part of what makes us great at what we do. When we are fortunate enough to do what we love for a living our passion and innovation can be infectious. In good times, and in bad, people tend to allow more and more of themselves seep into their work which can sometimes have a lasting effect.

Growing up, you may have been chastised for having an over active imagination and letting it get away from you. Maybe you couldn't get to sleep because the Boogeyman was going to get you. And your parents told you that was nonsense and to go to sleep. But it felt real growing up.
Where did the Boogeyman come from? Is there an innate fear that was built inside of us? Maybe that means the Boogeyman was real at one point.
And if so, then how did we fight back?
Episode 7 - Perspective
Those who bear witness struggle to conceal their bias rejecting ambiguity in the projection of preference and judgement. Over time we are molded by our experiences which alters our point of view and permanently changes how we will approach situations in the future. Yet as we age our perspective changes and we can end up torn between self-affirmation and the physical limitations imposed on us by time.

We all have our own fix. Be it a nice cold drink on a warm summer day or long day out on the golf course, we have our own forms of therapy that help us get by.

And this is the story of how that fix affected not just two strangers, but an entire nation.

Episode 5 - Message Received
Communication is an integral part of human interaction. From precious moments to the struggle for survival it is human nature to attempt to record, share, and digest the world around us. The process has evolved over time allowing minor deviations in the social narrative driven largely in part by technological improvements. Technology improves our ability to connect and even receive information but it is simplicity which ensures the message is clear.

Episode 3 - Quicksilver
Its hard to see the scope of impact we may have on this world. It's equally as difficult to see how hard the world can bite back and in such odd and unpredictable ways. There is broad spectrum of things out to get us which includes everything from animals to elements and ultimately the thing to worry about the most of all is, us.

Episode 2 - Convergence

In the history of human society, we have looked toward taking control of our destiny and situations. In many ways it took the form of tradition like holidays and magic. Over time as civilization developed, those old forms of magic have turned into entertainment. And yet even in a time where that entertainment can be explained through simple tricks, we still experience the unexplained convergence.

Episode 1 - No Escape

It is human nature to be competitive and most are unable to reserve judgement only to be torn between awe and envy. The struggle to separate the behaviors we define as undesirable encourages mystery and can bread contempt. William Ralston was a catalyst of change but ultimately was unable to escape the city he helped create.
