If your areas down south have gotten as dry as it has up north this past week, the state of Kali is in real peril of acting like Oregon has since mid July.

Normal plant irrigation times that has kept plants green for the whole summer are not working now in our area. I'm having to do emergency irritation all most daily to prevent plants from dying.

If that is happening to plants with an automatic drip irrigation system, the trees and brush in our forests must be tinder boxes ready to ignite.

It will be in the mid 100's out in the Azusa area for the third day in a row, with hot gusty winds. I think the fire fighters are being optomistic about having the Azusa fire contained by the 10th. We are supposed to cool down to the high 80's, low 90's by this week-end though.

The worst is yet to come though. We are in the middle of our worst drought year in decades, but then we are expecting a moderate el nino this fall/winter. The mudslides are going to be really nasty. I doubt that highway 39 is going to be open much during the peak of the rains.

Good Morning Gang!

First time in a while that I've been able to chat. (seems as though I work so efficiently that I've worked myself out of work!!)

G'Pa, could you add PyroMike to your ping list? He's a buddy of mine and a real good fella.

G'Pa and Blackie please check your private mail and get back to me ASAP.
