As ol Yogi once said…”it ain’t over till it’s over” but, think we are thankfully on the downside with these fires.  Most have either surrendered, contained or are in mop-up.   Last of the biggies was burning on the military reservation at Camp Pendleton, just up the coast.   The Marines, with a large arsenal of helicopters, are making short work of that one.

Could have been much much worse in property damage or homes lost!    We can thank an overwhelming response of various firefighting agencies that it was not.   My only fear that this may be a precursor of the summer ahead….. urgh!    I hope not, even though the figs love the 100 degree temperature.

Anywho, today’s temperature a welcome 20 degrees cooler, back over 50% so were almost back to normal!  Yeaaah…………

Harvey…….. sorry to hear about the loss of your friend in Fallbrook.   Sad what’s happing to the those old ranchers up that way.   Thanks to cheap Mexican imports and high water cost, many of those beautiful old avocado and citrus ranches and groves are being idled or cleared. 
Being Ag centric, the town has lost much of it’s vibrancy plus, a severe economic loss for the county too.   So sad…! 

Thanks everyone for all the thoughts and good wishes
