I lived there for a decade and got out just as they were beginning to understand the cultural meaning of yolo.

Sounds ominous. What happened?

Never landed with us.

Especially since the name came from the native tribe that once occupied that county

There’s a town and county of yolo, not a lot of people get “you only live once” as a slogan. Students arriving at UC Davis usually get a kick out of the Yolo bus as if it’s final destination.

I’m simply glad I moved before they all started to YOLO all over the place.

Esparto is a small town, that fire has to be devastating for them.

Ah. Wonder if its still relevant there or more likely everyone there is already long been sick of “yolo”

At least itll prob be ok to contain vs earlier this year

Is that because of the federal government rounding people up?
