• If Everyone’s Hat has a Chinstrap, it’s Gonna be Windy.

  

  It’s surprising we haven’t lost all of our utilities, normally during these events trees topple, boats get loose and unfortunately a few serious damages occur. At some point the wind may reach 80mph although it’s not in the forecast I feel we need to expect it. 80mph is the lowest speed of a Category 1 Hurricane, it can blow a weak building apart and it has.

• For Joy, a New Computer.

  

  I bought a Samsung computer, I thought it stood to reason that because she’s on her cell phone all of the time it would be good to have all her stuff on both of them. I told her we’ll be able to push a few buttons and the thing will be set up.

• Everything Looks So Far Away; Since the Smoke Cleared.

  The fires nearest here are 98% contained, at this juncture it means they are out and some of the crew stays behind to take care of hot spots. I hope there are no more.

• The Smoke is Clearing now It’s Weeding Watering Waiting.

  The smoke is beginning to clear, I am able to venture into the great outdoors once again to work in the garden, and take photos.

• The Heat is Hard on the Garden.

  

  The wildfires are burning enhanced by the high ambient temperatures. The heat dries the garden beds quickly to the detriment of some plants, my Crenshaw melons are now a statistic.

• Four Wildfires within View of the Porch.

  Wild fires are a fact of life during late summer in California. Four are easily seen from many locations East of the Diablo Range of Mountains. These are now under control, but many others throughout the State are raging out of control.

• August 110° F; Rain during August-Never until Today.

  As storms go this one compared to what other parts of the country and world are experiencing are much more intense. This is notable for us due to the rarity of a heavy rain during August.

• I Spoke Too Soon Yesterday; We Had A Wildfire Today.

  In Yesterday’s blog I wrote how the conditions were a bit damp for a wildfire. Apparently I’m no Expert at anything but guessing, we had a wildfire today 4 miles South of where I predicted it would not happen.

• It was the Week Before Independence day; With Fireworks blasting everywhere.

  

  There is a silver lining behind each cloud, dark or otherwise, and that is one type of explosion is harmless. A neighbor has a signal gun, in other words a small cannon charged with gunpowder

• Early Morning July 4th

  This is the first blog I have written and published immediately; I failed to write it during the long weekend. It was a good weekend, a boat parade, wild fire works everywhere. July 4th morning was spectacular as well.
