Well, we had a great fireworks display Saturday night.

Of course I didn't notice it because I went to bed around sunset as I always do and I sleep like a log.

The company that was planning to do the display backed out at the last minute so they found another company to do the display.

Our county did have a burn ban which is still in effect. The ban did include fireworks but exempted public displays like the one we had here in Comanche.

Marlow cancelled their display.

This part of the country's been so hot and dry the last several days that the authorities are showing zero tolerance. You light a firework and they fine you and/or put you in jail.

We did get a nice little rain shower which cooled things off, we were above 100 yesterday.

But, I think it's going to take much more thann that to break this drought.

Bo and I did go out to the lake on Saturday. We had a great time out there. There was a man fishing out in the heat.

I also drove out around Waurika Lake on Saturday. Quite a few campers and boaters and fishermen and women out there.

All in all it was rather hot. Just too hot to do much of anything.

Sorry that you haven’t had much needed rain out there.

I think with the wildfires out that way a lot of people probably have zero tolerance. I worried about the fires even here where we’ve had some rain.

We’re not as hot as you but Sat. & Sun. were both hot and humid, didn’t want to go outside much.
