Good morning all, hope your weekend is a pleasant one. Lots going on, in the east we have floods, in the west, raging fires. We talked about the stupidity of some people that have started some of these fires, either on purpose or by neglect. We now have yet another level of stupidity regarding these fires. Our largest fire here in Arizona is up around Show Low and is over 45,000 acres. They have it around 40% contained right now, but that changes with the elements. Air drops of retardant had to be suspended the other day due to some jerks that were flying drones over the fire. Common sense says that this has to impede air traffic in the area and it is officially a restricted fly zone over all fires like this. This drone thing is getting out of hand and are in the hands of too many self-centered idiots. 
Temps today should be just under 110, and we do have some rain in the forecast. After all, this is our "monsoon" season and it could be perfectly clear out one minute and a dust storm with rain following the next. So it goes though most of the summer, but these storms do cool things down and the rain is much needed, so most folks here don't complain. Well, we do the next morning when we see our vehicles covered in spotty dirt.
