It's been very hot here too, getting hotter tomorrow. The trip on the narrow gauge stream train was fun, but the carriages were open and I got covered in soot, luckily I wasn't wearing white like a lot of others on the trip.

I'm back for an bit...my varmit is now dead..it turned out to be an rat..but he sure did live gloriously while he was here to look so healthy apparently.

Rain is coming, it's in eastern Oregon right now  and working it's way north..Wednesday  is said to produce the most rain. I did some figuring with the help of Wiki answers...one million acres burnt is translated to about 350 square miles of land burnt over all. For the most part half of Oregon and central northern Washington state. That would be for yourunderstanding...906 sq km..doubled... 2 and 1/2 times. As for the grass and sage brush, it might make an comback before winter...as for the trees and homes, it will take some time..I think they ought to switche over double wide mobile homes, that can be lifted and trucked out if this ever happens again. One reason the Native American Indians of the pairies had tipi's they could knock down in less then 3 mins notice. We have been watering most all night tonight and the front yard several times during the day to make an come back on it...if it happens...cool down weather wise and back up to the low 90's by the start of next week.

I have been looking at the picture of the Cherbynol disaster in pictures, in Reddit.com...I just don' think any one realizes the problem of nuke reactors exploding or they would refrain from having so many of them in use. They show an facilty they completely capped from ground up in cement and steel...and they say it's still only safe for maybe another 100 years. Besides people evacuated, and later affected to early deaths, all the pets were destroyed in the city...buildings continually washed for an year, all vehicles and asmany of the smaller houses, buried completely. Streets resurfaced through out the town..and it's still restricted territory. Go over there an understand why the public doesn't want them around. The radio activity will be around for generations and generations. It's sad. I don' t even know if it's viable for out in space travel any more.

Other then that, I got my rest, I think someone stopped by, I woke up to the water sprinkler have been turned on full blast...things were flooded for an bit out front. But it's going to take an lot of something to return things to normal again. Talk later on.

Hi James Spanish viewer on site hope you have had a good day

Spent the day purchasing clothing for the Children of the City in Malaga. This is a charity based organization that looks after Children with parents unable to feed their children due to no work, and for some that their parents are being detained by the state.
Its a pleasure to see them smile when they see us delivering the new clothes, ages range from 4 to 15.
During this week I will be arranging for €1700 to be sent to assist children in Mauritania, apparently this will feed and cloth them for 12 months.
The organization I belong to is the Masonic Grand Lodge of Spain.

Neil
