Two Fires in last 1/2 hour

First, about 1/2 hour ago, at the corner of Templeton and Palomar, about 12 acres and 75% contained right now.

2nd one, just started, Highway One, just across from CMC. hopefully they will pick up this one fast, too. Downed power lines here.

  • I was playing decades old Pavarotti at the Met, doing Verdi's obscure Eranani, magnificently full volume across my meadow and thinking how much the plants get out of good opera and wondering if it wouldn't control fires, ala music soothing the savage breast. The heat does produce air currents and vibration, maybe it can be countered.

    • Interesting idea, Barbara! Only you! I need to play some good classical to my garden - probably not opera, though!
