Updates.

Well here I am on Lunch at work again.

Fire update: Day 11-58k acres 50% contained 189 homes destroyed 1 dead.  However, it had the lowest 1 day growth in it’s history yesterday.

Weather: very hot and dry.  Supposedly broke a record yesterday – that is according to the news it hit 100 in Denver.  However I didn’t see temps past high nineties locally.     It’s also going to be very hot today.

I’ve totally saturated my lettuce area so what happens is the top soil “crusts” over – but you can tell it’s still moist in the “trench”   But it may be too hot for the lettuce to progress past seedling stage.

A postscript to losing and finding my check.   Last night I heard Missy Meowing from the basement.  As she tends to grab random items and walk around with them meowing – I wasn’t unduly concerned.  It DID, however cross my mind that I should go down there.   But then I got into watering and forgot. 

This morning when I was feeding the cats I realized Missy wasn’t hanging around waiting for her food like she normally does.   At first I thought I shut her in the garage.  I had been out there earlier to grab an item.   I checked she wasn’t there.   So I started to wonder – did I even see her last night?   I realized I must have shut her in one of the downstairs room.   So I went down there.   No response.  I checked the snake room, she wasn’t in there.   Then I opened the door to the downstairs bathroom.   MEOW!  There she was!    Now I still have stuff in there from when I got my carpets cleaned so I guess she must have hid last night and I shut the door, not realizing she was in there.   Hope she didn’t leave a surprise….
