Been busy keeping an eye on a fire near me and the fires with the job. The literal fire started late yesterday morning and up to 5,100 acres as of about 90 minutes ago with zero containment, near zero humidity, zero precip in the forecast and continued high 90's and sunshine for another week.

The pre-evac border is one mile directly west of me.  Fire is about 6 miles west. 

So as not to disappoint our local safety legend, I'm mostly ready to run if that alert comes through.  And I hate to admit and this hasn't happened in who knows how long but I'm freaking out of beer.  FFS.

The fire Randimus was referring to is another one about 25 miles S of me.  The state is quite crispy.


And speaking of beer:  Congrats LMT for standing your ground with the employer!   [beer]. Proud of you!!


Carry on.

You all were up early this morning.  Even w/the time difference. Is that normal or am I just now noticing (guessing this).

From the "aging parent" department:  saying goodnight/good bye on the phone with my mom earlier.

Mom:  Thanks for calling.
me:  Thanks for answering
Mom:  What'd I answer
me:  My call!


Also had to explain to her why Russians weren't in the olympics....   

I aspire to get to (make it to?!) this point in life.

Morning. I really like the livery of the MotoGP bikes this week. The blue and white looks really good.

Afternoon.

Penny had an accident while diving and came up under the wooden raft head first. Mild concussion, according to the doc.

My brother asked if the raft was ok. Too soon, idiot.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.
