Good Morning!!!! 55F here in Chico, CA. Rain likely with a few thunderstorms. High near 55F. Winds ESE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Localized flooding in recent burn areas.
Hope you like what you see at the dealership, Drew! Don't forget your camera...
You guys are killin' me with your gas prices! It's at least a buck more a gallon here. Diesel seems to be about the same, though, closing in on $4/gal.:shocked: Recalling the gas rationing of the late '70s, though, I'm just happy you can buy all you want any time you want.
Let us know how you like the 8EXs, Ed. My old eyes are tellin' me it's time for a bigger screen, even though my pockets might not like it as much as the SE I have now.
Last night's
Camp Fire press conference didn't bring much good news. At least for the living. The sheriff said they've searched all they're going to for bodies, with the current count at 88 and 190 something still unaccounted for. Unbelievably, they're keeping the evacuation orders in effect for most of the burn zones for at least another week, and possibly ten days, and then only if the current storms don't cause problems with downed trees and the like. I'm not much of a Monday Morning Quarterback, but it seems as though the main effort so far has been on body recovery and not on letting people that survived the fire get on with their lives. The excuse given is they need to make the burned areas safe for the sheeple, when the truth is they can never make the burn areas totally safe. Property owners have that job ahead of them, but they can't do it as long as they're evacuated. I guess common sense isn't very common anymore.
Hang in there, folks, Friday's comin'!
I'll take snow blower for its winter walk this year cleaning paths etc....should be interesting.
