[palo verde]

hi oki
I am happy to see you
thank God you were not evacuated, and fires are out, and blue sky is back
that is a miracle
what a nightmare it must have been
I pray you and I get respite of cooler weather, westy send your weather to us
Love, Palo

When the wind came up this afternoon as it always does, the fire started again and we are covered in smoke down on the ground instead of over us. The freeway is closed and the cars are just parked there for as far as the eye can see. 104° or better. Scary for those people cooped up in their cars.

What is bouldering? I don't recall ever hearing that term.

No, I haven't had time to read yet. I began it a couple of times but the words were so general and open to interpretation that I had to stop (before I fell asleep - you are right! LOL).

Think coooooooooool! I hope your evenings cool down like ours do.
