South San Francisco, CA August 10, 2016 from ESC FB 
Last week Vladimir Funk posted this question to our Facebook page and the responses were interesting. It seems our foggy cold weather didn’t go unnoticed, but neither did our hard working industrious home grown roots! Please feel free to add yours too!
