and others, especially in floor and fire areas

[Guest guest]

Well, most of the state has high smoke levels,

high smog levels, etc. Here in the immediate

S.F. Bay area and in San Francisco, the air quality

is about the best. We are having a brief respite

from the heat in these areas as the marine layer

rolls in.

My heart goes out to all those in the rest of the

state, and in in Arizona, New Mexico, even Oregon

and Washington, where the Western Region draught

is extreme and the fires are spreading.

Global warming is real and is causing the floods

and increase in tornadoes and fluctuations in

temperatures everywhere--as well as causing

hot weather. I guess my age is showing, but I

was born in 1937, when the nation was much

smaller, as was the whole world, and I still won

der why all these oil, coal and gas issues were

not addressed as soon as WWII ended, as we

were told in school, that they would be.

Love to you, , and to Val and all in our

group, wherever you might be,
