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.

My husband always wanted a boat, but we could never afford one, not really, what with paying for college and all, and needing repairs to our house...

Its just ironic, that our son, bought the motorboat....of course, he has no responsibilites other than himself, and he makes a fortune compared to my husband....

So I guess the son will have to give his dad a ride in his boat...

Good for Bill, getting ready for his activities...hes a caving and bouldering man...

What is that Lulu up to this time of day?

hi oki
I'm sorry fire has started up again
Why did they close the freeway, they have to let those people drive home and get out of their cars
the sooner the better
it is much too uncomfortable to be cooped up in car in 104° heat
I am glad you are home

bouldering is like dancing with the rock, you're not very far off the ground so you don't need a rope, you put your feet in the little crevasses and move around rock like a spider
Bill loves it
I loved playing on rocks when I was a kid, but bouldering requires technique (and you have to be thin!!)
it's pretty to watch tho
Love, Palo
