  Thanks, Dear Friends, for your kind words. Your thoughts are appreciated -- end times, indeed!

  Off to clean a five-level house, with AC.

  Best wishes, while all of you stay safe also.

  Closer to Fine:

  Those are good suggestions. Somehow, the obvious remedies didn't occur to me at first. Up until the fires, we opened up windows and doors and let Nature cool off the house at night.

  No more.

  Thanks for posting. Stay safe, too, you and yours.

  Thank you, blownaway, Waton, and LHG:

  We're always on edge because the threat has become year round. Then follow the mudslides.

  Will Durant wrote, "Mankind exists by geological consent, subject to change without notice." Does climate change figure in similarly?

  Thanks again!

  No matter where we live, there are forces of nature to deal with. I appreciate your post.

  Taking no chances.

  Greetings:

  I hope you're not dealing with wildfires in your area. Currently, California is under siege. We, in the Sierra Nevada foothills, had our major conflagration last October and needed to evacuate. The smoke from fires both north and south of us is choking the skies and us vulnerable little people on the ground.

  Walking a client's dog last night, I was gasping for air after a near incident of leash aggression. The smoke and my initial anxiety over the dog's behavior set me off. This morning, there was no doggie misbehavior, but the heavy skies had me panting. Since this has never happened to me before, I feel it must be the dirty skies of many, many days now. The streets here have been lined with some half-dozen tree care companies, trimming back the lush growth of pines and oaks. Some neighbors are even removing their ground covers and ornamental shrubs that are deemed potential "fire ladders."

  The news said the unrelenting, heavy smoke is bad for everyone, not just sensitive types. Have you ever dealt with the like?

  Thoughts are welcome.

  Why I get out of bed every morning.

  because someone needs my help.. as a jw -- you can relate -- i truly believed that what everyone really needed was the kingdom hope and its eventual reality.

  you know, the hope that does not lead to disappointment.

  of course, if anyone needed practical help with a task or getting through some difficulty, most of us realized that was part of being a helpful and caring friend (or family member).. at nearly seventy years of age -- no, i didn't enter the promised kingdom in my healthful and vibrant youth -- my getting out of bed isn't so bad.

  It seems that, in my little corner of the world, everyone was out of town this last weekend. I get calls regularly to care for people's animals.

  Since I can stay in only one house overnight, I had to get up around 5:30 every morning and hustle over to a different client's home and let the dogs out to do their business. All was well; I headed over to another home and cared for the wee beasties. I am grateful that my new batch of critters can hold it so well (housebroken, never an accident).

  Everyone's home from a long weekend and I get to sleep in -- till 7:00 a.m.
