The fires still burn.

I fell asleep during my meditation this morning and woke up 20 minutes late. I suppose that's Natures way of saying I am not getting enough sleep. I put the time but don't get deep enough I guess.
It's Wednesday so I expect brother Bob will stop by for a short visit after lunch. Friend Dennis will be along and maybe Riotom.
The forecast is for hot weather and the fires still burn. At last count two firefighters have died and at the latest count 63 homes have been burned. A single fire has burned 125000 acres. Fortunately the fires are far enough away from me to not be threatening. And life goes on.
With the heat I've been sucking down orangeade from my orange tree. Yummy. But it' too damned hot. At least I haven't been burned out (literally)".
I still haven't gotten around to pumping up the front tire on my bike. Someday maybe I'll get a round tuit.
I still miss my airplane.
The cats have settled down again so I don't expect any major natural disasters but yesterday the were both bouncing off the walls. Maybe it was foretelling the fires but a few days late predicting them.
The threat of being burned alive is proof that we're all no this flight together.
