          Still getting baked R2? Bloody cold and raining over here, not unusual but it’s exceptionally bad this summer 🙁 How’s the Colorado fire situation, kinda dropped off the news feeds over here.

            Bone dry here in Texas Panhandle still.I have had 7.6″ of rain here at the house since the first of the year. Just enough for weeds to get green then die. Betcha Mr. Peterson knows more bout fires in Co. Nebraska had bad one too. Lots of game in that part of the world.

            Maybe some day……………..

                I don’t know about Colorado but parts of northern New Mexico got a bunch of rain this month. Our cabin – 8,400′ elev. – recorded almost seven inches in July. We had less than a tenth the six weeks prior with high temps and winds. You could almost see it green up before your eyes.Things are good for now.

                  Well it’s raining in SW CO as we “speak,” though I spent the morning cutting firewood in wilting heat — kept having to take breaks and sit in the shade (though most of that, likely, is due to going out into the heat for hard labor with only 3 cups of coffee and a smnall slice of pecan pie for fuel). Still, it’s a bit ironic and comical to almost suffer heat stroke while preparing not to suffer frosbite just a few months from now. I have AK deep bush friends who do a couple of dark months every winter at 40-50 below and set a new 32-year record cold this past winter of 62 below. They of course are entirely insane. Moderation, in ALL things. 😀

                  Hey Wexbow — you folks get the flick “Brave” over there yet? Most movie fun I’ve had since the Governator’s “Predator” and Mr. Bean.

                    Saw the ads for Brave and was thinking I must offer to bring my nephew to it – good excuse! Sounds like some dodgy Disney Scottish accents but I’ve heard it’s good enough to forgive that 😉

                      Hey Wexy be careful attributing Brave to the Mouse….it’s a Pixar production through and through, with many, many trips to the highlands for research and authentic culture – not to mention a wee bit ‘o the single malt culture. It’s easy to get attached to a 20 year old lassie that’s light on the peat! You will love the film!

                      Lang may yer lum reek

                      Blessings from old frisco town…:D
