Local news...

1. It was HOT yesterday. 94. No breeze. Ugh! It was 88 in my house, and my ocean breeze "air conditioning" wasn't working. No breeze, whatsoever. Then, a fire broke out about 10 miles north of here. Then it was hot AND smoky.

2. Meg sewed her first piece of apparel the other day. Flannel pj bottoms. She's worn them constantly since, even when it was 88 in the house.

3. Our best friends are moving this week. Again. Not the same friends moving multiple times, it's multiple friends moving away. Sam says we need to start making friends with non-military families in our ward so we have a better chance of them sticking around.

4. We have had fire north of us, and fire south of us. We had ash raining down one day last week, and the air was so bad that it looked like twilight at 4:30 pm....sun doesn't go down here until 8:30 or so. Now everything looks like it has a dusting of snow that will never melt.

5. The idiot who drove through my new gate gets sentenced this week. I gave them a list of damages, but I'm not holding my breath to get anything back.

6. Ryan and Susan are coming in a little over a week. Hopefully, they'll stay about a month. We can get lots of card-playing in.

I guess that's all. It's supposed to be hot again today, I'm gonna get housework done so that when it does I can take my Pepsi to the beach and hang out.
