The earthquake happen when someone tripped over the bar stool evacuating from the fire. Our cool temps are here already 70's. Strange as its State Fair Time and its hot, not this year.

Well, 70% is better than nothing... And I don't blame the PD for protecting the K9.

Our temps are back more-or-less to normal (mid-60s), but the State Fair here is normally a mudbath from autumn rain. This year, it’s dusty.

Rev. Paul said...

Yes, you’re right on both counts.

Praising God for bringing fires under control and praying you all get some rain.

Thanks for the updates.
