No fires in South Orange County right now. Patty's fine. Kennedy Meadows should be fine too (can't say the same for the Snake). Pretty sure things are all OK in Sacramento also where her daughter is.

Unless they allow snakes on the plane, she's good there too.

There weren't any effing snakes on the plane, when I flew up to Sacramento yesterday. It's currently 94* at my daughter's house in West Sacramento. She had minor knee surgery this morning and I'm staying with her for a week.

 

I hate this:

Length of Day: 13h 22m
Tomorrow will be 2m22s shorter.

 

Me too. I've got the summer is too short blues......

 

Been a bit nicer here for the past couple of days, but will be back in the 90s soon.

 

It appears we have broken the hot streak, at least for the most part. It's actually a bit chilly here this morning - breezy and cloudy. Only in the upper 70s today. I'm pretty sure it was our hottest summer ever. Just awful.

 

there is a rumor that we may see some precipitation starting tomorrow.
I'll believe it when i see it.

 

Matthew has made a mess out of our planned trip to NC this weekend. I'm guessing our flights might still be on for Fri AM, but we won't be on them. My sis in Melbourne FL is gonna get hammered. She and her hubby are not evacuating. Now NC isn't looking quite as bad. Originally, the hurricane was supposed to be in NC Fri AM, but it is slow moving so isn't arriving there until maybe Sun AM. Still won't be fun, though. Val and Jim decided to ride it out in Murrells Inlet SC, too. Remains to be seen whether that is a good idea. for everyone in the path of this storm.

 

^ Sis is without power, but otherwise apparently OK. They haven't been outside yet.

 

Hope Val and Jim are doing ok. The storm surge could apparently be heavy in that area.

 

Yeah, they are awfully close to the marsh. She was more worried about trees falling, though. See what happens.
