Pat is always complaining that it is not hot enough, time to see how hot he likes it... Lets all hope he does not get evacuated, been there, done that, not fun...

Never have had to go through anything like that. Just hope all is well. Just sitting here in the air conditioned easy chair watching the news and hoping all is well at his location. Nobody needs that kind of stress.

Hey guys, the home in Palm Desert is fine, but the cabin in Pine Cove is another story...Mandatory evacuations there..... We will see which way the wind blows tonight. Fingers are crossed.

So, how did this turn out?    :unknown:

As okay as possible, I assume...

Oops, sorry for the late reply.

Just when things looked the worst, monsoon thundershowers came in and rained for 3 days straight, put out the fire.

A relatively rare event in July. Go figure.  The town is saved. All is well.

Thanks for all the good thoughts guys... Pat
