Greetings, gang.
Clear and 60 at the moment going to partly cloudy and 75 later on with a slight chance of rain.
Yesterday turned out to be a lot of fun. Walked in 2 different parades, each about a mile long passing out candy and information cards about my granddaughter who is running for county auditor. Lots of laughs among the crew and joking with the audience. Another parade next Saturday. Fortunately no rain but I was prepared anyway. I had a change of clothes, an umbrella, and trash bags to cover the seat in case I got really wet.
Don't know if anyone is aware but Denali National Park has been closed due to a wildfire. One of the crew members was just there about two weeks ago. When I saw him the first thing I said was "What did you guys do up there?" We had a good laugh over it and then he told me the fire was very close to the hotel they stayed in. He also explained there was some kind of bug killing off black pine trees and there were a lot of dead trees in the area providing fuel for the fire.
Last night was rather noisy again but hopefully that will see the end of it for 6 months. Fireworks are allowed on New Year's Eve also.
Gas has remained fairly steady at $3.29 for quite some time now.
All stay safe.
