The Santa Cruz / Loma Prieta fires are about 25 minutes from my house. We know people that live down that way and pray for them and for their belongings/pets. In the last photo you know things are bad when even the rats are leaving. To compound matters we have had a heatwave with temperatures as high as 100-degress (for three days) and the poor Firefighters also have to wear long pants, long sleeves, jackets, boots and helmets as they fight the fires.

After 22-years of having professional landscaping for my house I finally terminated the crew and purchased a Kobalt cordless lawn mower. It forces me to get away from the computer and exercise. It is a cordless electric dual battery design, no pollution, quite, instant start and fun.
