Today we got cirrus clouds that gradually thickened, and now they are providing us with a lurid red sunset. The bad news is that the clouds are going to go on thickening, and by tomorrow there could be an electrical storm, but if there is rain it probably won't arrive until Tuesday. A fire weather warning has been issued for the region by the National Weather Service. The conditions will prevail from Monday through Wednesday, and there could be lots of lightning strikes.
Well, living in this place has always been a gamble. It's bound to burn down eventually, but I must say it will be damned inconvenient for me if hot embers start raining down this week. I still haven't gotten those leaves cleaned up, for one thing. It's just been too hot for raking. The rain gutters need cleaned out, too. They are a considerable fire hazard when they are full of dry leaves. I suppose I'll have to try to get the gutters cleaned out tomorrow morning. It's too late to do it tonight, even with a half moon shining.
Aside from the impending potential disaster, the clouds are going to moderate the temperature a little bit. The high might be a mere 82 degrees on Tuesday. Of course it could be a rainy 82 degrees, and that means there could be steam rising from the rooftops. How will I tell the steam from smoke?
Just when I thought this summer couldn't get any worse. Crap.
