Thanks, Dan! :-)
Actually, the air outside (here in Santa Clara) is much clearer than yesterday
now, no longer the deep reddish hue pervading everything. Temps are currently
81°F … nice, warm and mild. I'm tired of sitting in the house, I'll go for a
walk and get a takeout sandwich, eat lunch
Thanks for asking. :)
I'm fine, better than yesterday. My hernia repair is healing up extremely fast.
Yuck, another unsightly scar on my belly. So much for being a go-go boy:
another of life's ambitions dashed! LOL!
Yesterday was bad on smoke here in Santa Clara. I didn't go out. Temps
Good to hear you are safe and recovering fro your surgery, Godfrey!
It was 57 F this morning when I went out to walk the dog. Clear as a bell,
and very pleasant now, peaking about 80.
It's also quiet, as there have been no helicopters or fighters overhead, as
there were the last 2 weekends,
Larry, John and Godfrey (and any others out there):
How are you soing with the Fires and the intense heat? This is from my
friend in San Jose this morning:
*Serious problems here. Sorry to say Santa Cruz hills are very bad and not
yet contained.Bad fires , bad air, heat of triple digit
thanks for more specific locations...
Marnie said she was about 60 miles from the Camp fire - not in
immediate danger but she could smell the smoke..

Santa Clara, at the base of the SF Bay Peninsula, just over the border from the

Chico and Paradise are roughly 200 miles north of me, up and past the

Marnie is also in the general area -- about 60 miles away she says (we

It is all so terrifying.. looks from Larry's photos today he is farther
