It' Wild and Outta Control

Hi, Welcome to my world. As you all know, I live in NorCal which is nearly paradise in terms of weather and location. I loves loves loves it here. But these past FOUR years of drought have been tough. This weekend they got tougher when ONE FIRE in the Lake county area exploded to double its size due to the extremely dry conditions. It is only 12% contained.

I cannot express just how dry it here here. The brown grass is not just brown, , , it is crackling. When you step on it, it snaps. It is very scary dry.

So we had some weather come through last week - a tropical front which brought a little rain (and I do mean a little) rain to parts of the state. Unfortunately, a long with that rain came some lightning which in turn set off fires in the very very dry grasses and trees. WHOOSH! It just exploded.

Look at all those FIRES!!!! Scary, huh? This is what happens when rain is scarce and it is something we have to deal with now. 

It will take a lot of rain to get NorCal (all of California, really) back to its verdant self. Here's hoping for a wet winter . . . followed by another wet winter. . . followed by another wet winter. . .

What's the Buzz? Tell Me What's Happenin' . . .

This is an oldie but goodie. I wonder where that costume went to? It fit me like a GLOVE.

But I digress.

Can somePUGGY tell me what in the WIDE WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS is going on these days? I am flummoxed, and not in a good way.

Such as - what is up with this weather? Hot one week, cold and rainy the next. I live in NorCal where we have one of the best and most regular climates ANYWHERE and even I don't recognize it lately. I am CHILLED to the furs this morning and just 2 days ago I was ready for a cooling vest.

Then there is the Four CORNERS area where it keeps raining and is flooding like crazy (be safe my FURiends there). My Grandma S, Auntie L and Uncle K live in the area in the New Mexico corner and I am so worried about them, as well. And not one month ago they had SNOW!

I need to talk to Mother Nature STAT and get her straightened out now! This cannot keep happening.

Then there are all those FIRES. We had one not 50 miles from our casa. The smoke column was not only visible from my area, but it settled in our valley making the air dangerous. And today I heard the Boardwalk in New Jersey burned down. That is scary stuff!

What's a PUGGY to do?

On the BRIGHT SIDE, I received ANOTHER package yesterday which I will be reporting on NEXT WEEK. Hold on to your harnesses, it's gonna be a DOOZY.

I might be exaggerating a little there - but it will be interesting, I promise.

In any case - stay safe My FURIENDS because without you, well I'd be lost. Have a GREAT WEEKEND!
