Stay safe all.

I grew up in Southern California and know well of Summer fire season - there it's mostly forests that burn, though. And a few years ago we had a very firey summer in Central Florida - drought and arsonists - 3 counties on the coast had to be evacuated (almost 1 million people) And nationally the conservative Christians said it was Gods punishment for Walt Disney World exteneding health insurance rights to gay partners of employees...

In Florida we don't have much connection to the "Northern Hemisphere" atmosphere. Today at 11:30 AM it is slightly overcast and 72F (21C). It should get up to nearly 80F if the overcast burns off.
