And let the fun begin.
Last years power outages really hurt a lot of people.
We were driving home from Eugene Or. and ran into
power out as soon as we hit northern Ca.
Lucky we had enough gas to get to the Humboldt redwoods
to spend the night. By the next morning power was starting
to come back as we moved south.
Not looking forward to it again.Not much of a problem here at our house.
But it keeps us from going anywhere away from our area.
I guess it's needed ,a lot of people are affected by no power/fires.
Stay safe.

.................on the bright side, a stunningly beautiful sunset tonight out our kitchen window. We ran out and stood on the deck to watch. It is the little things that make everything right with the world.

When I got up this morning it was 59°F in the house. I turned on the furnace (that is, turned up the thermostat) for the first time in months. 
...to take the chill off. No I didn't really need to...but I guess it just seemed chilly, comparatively.
In a couple of days we're forecast to have several days of highs in the mid-80s.
Winter is coming, but it's not here yet.

Yesterday, 29 September, the low/high daily temperature range here was much broader than usual: 48 F°. The Bend Municipal Airport recorded a low of 43°F and a high of 91°F.
It's forecast to be well up into the 80s here today, and for a couple of more days.

I've been noticing the native dogwoods are beginning to turn their beautiful red colors driving back from Downieville and in the TNF around 4-6k feet. I went out yesterday afternoon with Callie to scout a few locations. These hot, dry winds aren't helping.

Andy, thanks for the bright colors! The dogwoods are beginning to change around here also. Unfortunately the leaves on the big leaf maples are drying up and dropping off prior any color change. It has been so hot and dry.
