Do pay attention to unexplained glitches. I thought I was Peter Pan 6 months ago and am just now getting over the last (I hope) vestiges of my crash landing.

O gawd, not again! Be safe over there! It sounds like you are prepared to evacuate if necessary.
We’re getting smoke from Canada and possibly from the Idaho panhandle fire (lightning caused).
We always want to go away during the beginning of July, but know better and suffer through the holiday. Too many idiots out there ‘recreating’ in every wrong way. I get ‘seasonal PTSD’ with all the noise triggers from fireworks, shotguns and sirens.

I’m so sorry. I have spent some time in Shasta and know people in the area. You have had some tough few years, poor Weed! I live in an area that in the last few years has become fire prone, so I keep a go bag ready this time of year. Today I have all hoses rolled out and ready for spot fires since neighbors tend to set off the fireworks right over my property. Most of the cities and some towns around us have outlawed them but in the forested rural areas it is perfectly legal. Makes total sense :roll_eyes: I’ll be interested to read what the Redding paper has to say about the fighting and trail attacks. I don’t remember her name but I occasionally read an article from someone in your area. Stay safe and if in doubt, evacuate! Better safe than sorry.

All quiet in the Central Sierra foothills where we are. Not even the usual gun shots. I hear music revving up down the hill, maybe a resurrection of Tuesday night blues for 4 July. Not much road traffic today but a few more vehicles in the last hour or so, maybe locals going into “town” for some organized fireworks or such.
@john , stay safe.

What’s with the turtleneck? It’s the typical hot & humid here in Wawa country. (Looks like Delaware?)

I have my doubts whether either brother even owns a tee shirt or a pair of jeans.
