No blogging tonight

What with the hot weather and the roofers pounding early today trying to avoid the heat I am tired. Heading off to the DaveCave(tm) and check email and then up to bed... The weather is finally starting to moderate but it is now so dry that no private burning is allowed except charcoal in barbecues. No wood fires anywhere. The local State Park is allowing wood and charcoal fires at their campsites but you have to have two 5-gallon buckets of water or a hose nearby and there has to be a camp officer on duty. Crews are out fighting a lot of smaller forest fires -- one side effect of the hot weather is convection cells and the resultant thunderstorms. Posted by DaveH at July 31, 2009 9:05 PM
