The temperatures have gone down dramatically but the weather system that brought it had high winds, something we don't need right now. The TV news stressed that it would be dangerous to have barbeques this holiday weekend and strongly suggested no one do it. I don't know if it was official, but my guess is all your neighbors would jump your butt for it. Some idiots have been spotted throwing cigarettes out of their car windows. I'd like to track them down like the dogs they are.... Thanks for the positive thoughts, we're getting through it so far. Have any rain you wanna sell?
