It’s that time again

I stepped outside the house a few minutes ago and was hit with the “sign of summer”—smoke.

Sure enough, there’s a wildfire going north of us in Mariposa County with a rather large contingent of firefighters and equipment working on it. We’re pumping extra water into our tank in case it gets close. The last thing I ever want to see is one called "Geezer Fire."

Hi Tom; is it going to be an exceptionally dry summer? seems like it's off to an auspicious start with fires this early?! Also seems to be a bit of a snaky summer; hearing reports of lots of baby rattlers (not the plastic variety)...

Glad you are taking precautions. Stay safe.
