The visitor center more appropriately should have been renamed the J.M. Stewart Geothermal Visitor Center after its visionary Jan Stewart of Saratoga.
Fresh out of Stanford, Jan went to work for PG&E in San Francisco as the tour guide at The Geysers. She was promoted to media rep with more assignments, but always had the geothermal beat. It was Jan's dream to educate people about geothermal energy, especially at The Geysers.
Years later, Jan left PG&E and went to work for Calpine. There, Jan wrote her dreams for an educational visitor center at The Geysers in an email to CEO Pete Cartwright.
Pete gave Jan the go-ahead and she selected the location, the architect, the builder, the landscape designer, the hands-on, kid-friendly displays, and the staff.
Jan Stewart built her dream geothermal visitor center. Pete Cartwright got all the credit.
That really frosts me. But, it's so stereotypical.

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Cancer

You have a tendency to go overboard today Cancer, whether it's eating too much food, drinking too much or taking on more than you can handle at work. You simply won't know when to stop! You're in a very sociable mood and you're also feeling very easy-going, prepared to take people at face value and to turn a blind eye to their faults and foibles. And you hope they'll do the same for you.
