LOL... I have to admit that I'm becoming a little paranoid that natural disasters are following me! A day after I left North Dakota a tornado touched down, two days after leaving Indiana it flooded, (22 counties in all), and Mississippians worried about the overflowing Mississippi River coming their way. Now that I'm back to Northern California fires are springing jubilantly everywhere, thanks in part to last weeks thunder and lightning show. So far 4,000 acres have burned in Trinity County, 2000 acres in Butte, over 130 fires with only 18 contained in Shasta County and I'm smack dab in the middle of it all. (Cough... Cough.... ah... cough..) smell that... (cough cough).. pine scented.. (hack)... air.
The air conditioner is still broken but finally "super-air-conditioner" man got here to fix it. As he went about the house checking air ducts for leakage, he shook his head, pointing out all the leaks in the work that some "idiot" had done before him. When he asked who had done this, I replied, "you did years ago, remember?" OOooohhhh yeeeaaahhhhh..... Hopefully the "idiot" can give me a discount.
I think the best thing I've heard so far though is the news people reporting in on the local fires. I was illustrating my book, mildy paying attention when I heard the TV newswoman: ..." with thousands of acres burning, some people that have been holding their breath for hours may finally find relief." LOLOL What????
So now I know where the famous Las Vegas show "Blue Man Group" find their people.. they are here in Northern California holding their breaths against all the smoke!!!
LOL I can always trust the local news for unwitting comedy...
