Back Problems
Added to the aforementioned computer problems there is now a back injury. So the delay in getting back to the revision will be longer than I had hoped.

California Wildfires and a Red Sun
1000 wildfires are burning around us.
White sky, red sun at sunset. A very smokey day in the San Francisco Bay area, causing burning and itching eyes, dry cough, a headache, aching muscles. The smell of smoke is so strong that it smells like the fire is right next door.

A Cross Quarter Day
A cold day in Los Osos.

Two egrets stand in the chilly wind with necks contracted to keep warm. It doesn't really seem like Spring, much less the beginning of Summer in the old calendar. It feels like a California winter day and I am barely comfortable wearing a jacket with a wool lining.
Moro Rock is in the overcast distance.
However, cold as it is, I am having a very nice visit with my daughter and granddaughter.

Elephants
Videos from the Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee
The Elephant Santuary in Tennessee is a refuge that shelters old, sick and needy elephants. Many have been retired from zoos and circuses. Because the refuge is closed to the general public, the recent publication of videos on YouTube gives us a great look at moments in the lives of the resident elephants.
