You sure got that right. In California, I read that it's been mostly elderly people who have passed away.

I'm still kicking, but if I were down there I'd probably be kicking up daisies ...

Today it's COLD here at 16C about and hour ago ... am wearing long pants, long sleeved top plus a sweater, and warm socks and I still feel cold! Go figure, but it's a great relief for a while ... weather trend says back up to mid 30's or so by midweek though, so it ain't over yet. And we're just starting August.

Oh yes ... I heard it through the grapevine that those little wildfires around us have been doused. Good. They were a little close to home here ... it's very windy today and not a good combo for fires, eh?
