I PM'd bubby a few days ago. He said they were ok. Fire came 20 miles from them but wasn't heading for them. He said the air was full of ash and smoke. Stay safe you all.

Man the West needs the rain from the east! Its amazing its so dry out there and so wet out here. We are 5" short of our yearly normal with 5 months left to go.

Pat B:
How about a few water pipelines heading west. We've had over 80" so far this year, 10" in the last few days.
 You've been in our thoughts Ben. Hoping things calm down soon for you guys.

The Ferguson Fire is just over 95K acres and 82% contained. Still got some firing operations going on. Supposed to finally go back to my "office" Wednesday. This fire started on Friday the 13th of July. Fires popping up nearly everyday. Yes Pat - send some of that H2O this way! We sure could use it! The most recent fire near us is called the Donnell it is over 20K I think and has closed one of the trans sierran highways, 108. It is also in steep brushy terrain. All in all my family and I are well. By this time in September I will be gramps again with the arrival of Number 7! I aint even 50 yet! Whoo boy - what a ride!

Ben,
You need some slow soakers, no downpours!  Any rain will be welcome, but floods and mudslides are just as bad as the fires.  Did hear the authorities arrested one dude for arson!  But it only takes any spark even static electricity to set off a big fire!  With the beetle kill and the drought conditions, big fires are inevitable!  Good luck as you return to normal
