I took one of my rare trips to King City the other day, and notice how low the River was. Many places it was completely dry, but in the places where there was water, it was stagnant.

Fire FHL
This started yesterday around 2-3 pm, I’ve been watching it, but up until this am, I didn’t see any smoke. This morning, I saw white drift smoke in the canyon
Hey Kate ….the guy I talked to said its at 45 acres……they called some of the guys in on OT….it sounds like may be up by Milpitas airfield…that’s about 4 miles or so up from delventuri pond, its a big grass flat that the army copters use…..he said the dozers are working it but they can’t get into some of the steep stuff…..he said they do have a hose lay in on the steep stuff….so guess the fs hand crew punched a line in on the steep stuff…..also copter 406 out of beaver dam is working it to…..he said the winds are squirrelly an they have had a couple of spots but picked them up.
I have a photo of the drift, which I’ll tried to upload, but you know how that goes!

Amazing Fire Photo
This was shot today, at the Falls Fire near Lake Elsinore. I don’t know who the photographer was, it was posted on twitter by one of the fire agencies.
While I am struggling to re-figure out how to post again via a computer – forget an iPhone – and I have to remember how to type, again, I give you this amazing shot.
My admin backup, bigsurdeb, is dealing with a family emergency. Her mother is in ICU. We are all sending positive strengthening thoughts to her.
Is there life after iPad?
Mine died a quick death last week, so I can answer that … I think not. No idea I was so dependent on that little critter. I hadn’t backed up to iCloud since mid-June (hard at home). I think I will probably have lost some contacts, some appointments, some notes, and lord knows what else.
My new one will be here later this week. I am lost in the blogging world until then. Sorry =-(
