On the news this morning, the good news is that our area is supposedly in a good location to view the meteor showers, and the weather clouds will be clear. The bad news is the best time for viewing will be from 2 am till about an hour before Sunup.

Darn it. This post made me realize I forgot the garlic and I’m making sauce tomorrow.

That should be just about enough time for a quick roadtrip to @Gary A. , pick some fresh and get home in time for sauce-making.

Gary has garlic growing in a number of places in the back. Garlic, like tomatoes, comes in numerous flavors. Gary even has some 'hot' Ukrainian garlic. Plenty of onions too.

My Italian mother used to make garlic bread with real San Francisco sourdough.

I've never tasted its equal since.

BTW, you haven't had sourdough until you've had San Francisco sourdough, especially from Boudin Bakery.

That stuff is good, but Gary prefers San Francisco's Tartine Breads.

Finally clocked in 5:18
Floor machine MUST have new batteries.
Half the store just got water put down and vacuumed up. Fixed the worst of it with a mop. Got to do a little shopping before leaving. 31.45 for the week.

From the LA Times:

A helicopter fighting the Holy fire drops water on flames at along Ortega Highway. (Irfan Khan / Los Angeles Times)

"Tera Swick watched in horror as monster flames raced down a mountain Friday morning and toward her mother’s neighborhood.

She and her family had been tracking the Holy fire during the last few days, watching it gain steam then stall as it climbed through the Santa Ana Mountains from Orange County into the foothills above the Riverside County lake community.

All night, the fire raced toward the Robin Hood Oaks subdivision, which was illuminated with flames and the flashing lights of fire trucks. Swick had a U-Haul packed with belongings ready to go with her family.

Then, a plane flew in low and dropped water on the flames. Swick and her family screamed with excitement.
“They’re just amazing,” she said. “We’re cheering them on every time they’re making drops.”

It was that kind of day on the Holy fire lines, as a squadron of 12 fixed-wing planes and 14 helicopters pounded the 21,400-acre fire with water and retardant.

It’s been an epic aerial assault that is showing signs of success. By Saturday morning, containment of the fire had jumped from 5% to 29% in less than 24 hours. While flames whipped dangerously close to Lake Elsinore suburban developments, there has not been a major loss of housing so far."


Totaling all the fires raging in California, the acreage burned is greater than the State of Rhode Island.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Miss Maggie pulled a muscle and she been limping since yesterday. Consequently, no walk today. This 'No Walk Day' will not make her happy. But it will keep her clean.

Yesterday, the temp dropped by ten degrees. Maybe the heatwave broke. Mary Lou, Maggie and Gary are in the patio, it is very pleasant out here today. We're gonna NetFlix out here while the weather is pleasant. Maggie is bugging the hell out of us ... she misses her mud.

I sold a print today.

I've also been on hold for 40 minutes with the internet company who claims I'm delinquent on an account that I auto-pay and have their confirmation that the debit was successful.

Retribution perhaps.

The computer was acting very wonky. Shut it down earlier and this is after a fresh restart. Home. Nothing much happening around here.

After a long delay for inspections which caused the contractor to have a schedule conflict...we have walls!

 

[Gary A.]

Nice.
