It's a Tuesday that's toasty..

It is strange to be a couch potato day after day.. On warm days like today I'd be in my office where the A/C is always to cold. Fortunately having been home most of the summer when it was so very warm, Greg would run the A/C at the hottest times of the day. Today even though he left and headed up to Fresno, we are playing by that same rule. Today the Santa Ana winds are supposed to arrive and with the heat, the fires that are nearly contained after raging for several weeks, could just start up again with a fury. And we have different winds than those areas affected and usually hard to know it's even going on

I just turned on a local station and the Moorpark & Fillmore in Ventura county has a huge fire burning quickly and it is being moved quickly by the wind through just grass land. It's really grown fast and blowing towards communities. Norco has a fire that has started in one area of tree clusters, but the winds blowing is the dangerous part of keeping it small. The Canadian super scoopers are busy here in CA during our fire season, and do respond quickly as any fire breaks out. God help them.

I'm suddenly wondering "what" would I grab now, hoping that one of the kids were home to back the explorer to the side door and we could get the containers of pictures from the downstairs hall closet. With back surgery I couldn't/shouldn't lift them, but I would certainly be dragging as many of them as I could. There isn't anything else but pictures and other than the ones on the walls, a few discs on the office desk and I'd be out of here. All else could be replaced, even clothing in a hurry. We don't have much for vegetation that would feed a fire in our area, but if it started as a structure and in a wind, it could just cover a large area out of control.

Shane is in school to become a fireman.. someday this could be his daily call.
