I’m glad I haven’t encountered the flying stinging critters, but very early on I learned to associate the Santa Anas with fire. I don’t know about others, but yes, those hot winds make me edgy…

As always thanks for keeping us posted, thanks for what you do for us all — and stay safe out there. Hopefully you haven’t had any more Trumpistas wandering by.
