    HUGE FIRE

    It looks like it's going to be a very bad fire season. I'm safely several miles away from the Sand fire which is in the Santa Clarita area. It's at 5,500 acres burned so far and zero containment. The fire is northeast of me but the entire sky is affected. To the north and east all I can...

    Two More Fires

    Two new fires burning several miles south of me. They are within a few miles of each other. Strong dry winds are not helping and neither is the high heat. Just stepped out onto my front porch and the reading was 110 in the shade.

    Another Fire

    Well we have another one. It started a few days ago near Santa Barbara which is north of me. It's burning in an area that hasn't burned in 70 years. 4,000 acres as of yesterday. The big problem is drought, 'dangerously' high temperatures starting today, and winds that are called Sundowners...

    Fire

    We got thru the traditional fire season with very little in the way of fires. Now I'm looking out my back window and the entire sky is smoke. There is a large fire in Calabasas. I'm not in danger but a lot of homes are. I'm watching the TV and flames are very close to homes. Way too close.

    Fires

    We've had coverage of three new fires today. The latest being by Castic. That is a very rugged area. Temps are 100+ and winds are blowing. Perfect conditions for a very large and fast moving fire. Add in the terrain and this one is going to be a bad one. The only good thing is that a lot...

    A Poem by Willie Nelson

    A Poem - by Willie Nelson My nookie days are over, My pilot light is out. What used to be my pride and joy, Is now my water spout. Time was when, on its own accord, From my trousers it would spring. But now I've got a full time job, To find the friggin thing. It used to be...

    The Supreme Court

    Inner Peace

    Rain

    It actually rained here today. Usually our last rain is early to mid March. It is most unusual to have any rain at this time of year let alone this amount. We are supposed to get more this evening and tomorrow.

    Hemochromatosis

    Not a fun situation but at least it's treatable. I have too much iron in my system. Among other things I get really tired. Treatment is to take a pint of blood out of me when the iron level gets too high. Doc has decided that I need to do this every six weeks. I hate needles!
