Good 66º cloudy morning. Yesterday we topped at 99.1º while
over the mountain in Grants Pass they swam in 104º. Don't know what today will
be..... weather folks were wrong about the thunder showers, they were south and
east of us.
I found this article and it describes the firefighters ..
their hopes/dreams, personality, etc. Moving. May they all RIP!
Historically this date....
1969 – The biggest explosion in the
history of rocketry occurs when the Soviet N-1 rocket explodes and
subsequently destroys its launchpad.
1979 – U.S.
President Jimmy Carter signs the
first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in
Kabul.
1994 – The deadliest day in Texas traffic history, according
to the Texas
Department of Public Safety. Forty-six people are killed in crashes.
And births this date include...
...and today is my nephew Jimmy's son's birthday... Sloan Plumbridge is 20
years old!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SLOAN!
Today is the Law Enforcement/Fire Luncheon at the Grants Pass Golf Course.
Barbecue, salad and sides buffet, sitting on the veranda and sipping wine!
Thought I'd use this for the PICTURE of the day...
works for me!!!
Yesterday was just one of those, stay in, keep AC on, pay bills, straighten
out check book, toss out stuff, clean off desk, don't cook....too hot days. COME
ON FALL!!! (I know, too early to hope for that!) I watched a skunk as he made
his way through the pasture. Hoping he wasn't coming this way.
The local coyote wasn't around. Saw him a couple days ago and he was
limping. Back foot something wrong with it... Always sad to see a critter hurt
and you can't do anything to help.
Here is a tree called a Madrone. The wood is super hard and makes for great
fireplace burning...hours for a log. Also Jerry said they make great gun
stocks. The red bark flakes off in the Spring and Summer leaving it smooth and
cool to the touch. I was on a tour in Napa and the tour guide said they call
them the Refrigerator Trees, because how cool they feel.
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Hump Day. Ciao.

The Hotshots tragedy really struck a chord with me. I spent a lot of my night crying over the loss :( How terrible.
Yes, Dom, so so sad. Heroes all. They even fought a fire here in Oregon!
The bean salads look leap off the page and into the mouth delicious.
I have been so sad over the firefighters. Heroes shouldn't have to die. At least not so young.
Going to put up my "We will not forget" flags before it gets any hotter.
I agree L! xo
