Greetings from Dante's Inferno . . .

Hello from the frontlines. Yes, we're in the middle of the fourth of our "four seasons" here in Southern Kalifornia. Most people don't think of California as having 4 seasons, but we do . . . First comes the wet season (Jan-Feb), then the growing season (April - June), then the dry season (Jul-Sep) and finally FIRE season (now thru Christmas). The ash and smoke are pretty thick in Temekula, but we haven't had any flames (yet). The strong Santa Ana Winds are beginning to abate, so moist air will replace this dry air by the week-end and we should begin to return to "normal". Two of our neighbors had big trees blown over in their yards. One came down on the driveway (no cars underneath) and one came down into (and over) the pool. Luckily, no one was hurt by falling timber. The tree-trimming services will be doing booming business this week (and next).
