It was gorgeous up around Lake Almanor today. Relatively clear skies and cool temperatures made for a great day to go check on projects in construction. Unfortunately, the weather (snow, rain, floods) of last spring have some of them behind their schedules.

Talking about the Bear Fire? No where near Santa Cruz. Nearest "town" is Boulder Creek, but the people in jeopardy are up in a community called Las Cumbres. They've all been evacuated. We have many friends over there.

Happy thirsty Thursday. Only see 20% chance of rain down here. Hope you get more up north.

We got almost 1/3", and most of it came between midnight and 2AM. Much appreciated; the air is really clean and crisp this morning.

Seeing as the Bear fire is only about 6 miles from here, I'm expecting to hear that this really helped the effort to put this one out.

They'd already gotten a pretty good handle on it. They have almost 1,000 firefighters on it now, and last night (before the rain), they were reporting 30% containment, and the fire spread had held at 300 acres. They also lifted the evacuation orders, and our friends in Las Cumbres were allowed to go back home.

Happy Friday Nor Cal. Must have rained some last night as I see the ground is wet. Sunny and clear now though.

I mis-read that, though you said "hit a moose"... better get my eyes checked again

Central Contra Costa... no fire threats, and they won't let me shoot back at snipers

Our local fire; the Bear fire, was up to 79% contained the last I heard last night. It had also not grown beyond the 400 acres.
