Good morning everyone, here we are at Hump Day again. I hope all you working stiffs can handle the rest of the week. For us retirees, it's just another day. Well, there is the exception, from the Dagwood comics it appears that today is National Donut Day, but in fact, it is National Hamburger Day. There are probably lines forming at Micky D's right this minute. 
BTW, National Donut Day isn't until a week from this Friday...
It's a bit weird-looking outside, the skies are a bit red. One TV weather-caster shows us a graph saying that there's a 30% chance of rain today and tomorrow, then she turns to her daily forecast showing a 20% chance of rain both days. The probability is that there won't be any rain, or a 0% chance. No wind for a change and we should see at least 107 later today. It's 7AM and already it's 80 outside.
The last I heard is that the fire up near Sedona is around 25% contained and at about 15,000 acres. There are around 1200 firefighters battling this blaze along with several tankers and helicopters. We have several others in the state, one to the eastern part of the state that was at 43,000 acres yesterday. Our wildfire season is early this year.... :cry:
