  1. "It's always something" - Roseann Roseanna Danna

    Well... getting ready to evacuate due to the Mosquito Fire here in the Gold Country. Large smoke plumes very visible and our neighboring town of Georgetown, CA is already under evacuation orders... we're about 5 miles as the crow flies away, but fires up here move with tremendous speed in our drought stricken, heat wave infested area - up to 20 miles a day in a worst case scenario..

    We haven't received an advisory here yet, but getting prepared.

  2. Better Holiday

    Today is Labor Day, and I think that holidays are mostly a waste of time. I think that workers would be better off if they got another week or two of vacation time is stead of holidays.

    let magic begin

    let magic begin -
    lithe woodrushes snuggle ferns
    hermit thrush song thrills

    O, how light the heart
    deadpan deer alertly pose
    gentle crisp winds blow

    the buck moon shone bright
    sharp languid shadows answered
    filtered through stark trees

    night advanced slowly
    a weather worn stone observes
    the cold universe

    blazing silently
    stars seek our vision
