On Friday, we started getting some small breezes, which helped to clear the air a bit in some parts of this area. More breezes over the weekend also helped. The sun was actually visible as a yellow star, rather than a red-orange star. Still problems with the forest fires all around us, but it’s nice to have less smoke.<\/p>\n
Went to the mountains Saturday for a few hours. At about 4000 feet elevation, the air was pretty good, with no detectable smoke odor. Visibility was 5-8 miles. It was a “Cousin’s Cabin Day” — we had a nice visit with various cousins that we don’t see very often. <\/p>\n
Sunday was the usual. After the round of church meetings, went to my sister’s house for a nice dinner. On the way home, the temps were about 80 degrees, so opened up the sunroof on the new car (a 2007 Camry SE) which was quite pleasant.<\/p>\n
Today’s temps are still warm, predicted for 95, but only 82 at noon, so may not reach the predicated high. But a small breeze is helping to cool things down; at night, we’re able to open the windows to take advantage of that (and to turn off the AC).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
