Well, while summer thunderstorms rage back home, I’m learning about what happens here in California during the summer: fires. The other day there was a brush fire not too far away that destroyed at least one home; just a few minutes ago I was out walking the dog when I noticed a large plume of smoke down in the valley — I can only assume that it’s another fire. I fired (sorry for the pun) up the webcam and snapped a shot from my office window before the sun disappeared entirely.
