My managing editor heard a report on NPR about the brand-new California state amphibian and suggested I do a page on it. I turned a huge file photo into an infographic about the fringe and used a big chunk of the page to list the other California state symbols: State Theater. State Marine Mammal. State Folk Dance. State Fife and Drum Band. State Gold Rush Ghost Town. They go on and on. July 22, 2014
