It’s finally raining in Socal. About time, after 8-9 months of nothing. We’ve gotten about a half an inch so far. Our “normal” rainfall by now is about nine inches, so we’re still waaaaay behind, but this should cap off the recent fire danger.

And I’ve had time to think about resurrecting our long-in-limbo automated fire suppression system. I think I know how to make it work with minimal extra cost, though it will be a manual system, not automated. Better than nothing. I can have it ready for the next round of Socal fires.

On the political front, it’s comforting to know that after we’ve bullied/threatened Mexico, Canada, Panama, Denmark, Columbia and Greenland, Donnie Convict says “America is respected again”. He is a mob boss through and through – all he knows is intimidation, threats, and bluster. So glad he’s our voice to the world again.
