re: Trump was right! California will spend $500 MILLION this year to thin its 33 million acres

Thanks. We were just fine but there were a few days when the northern parts of Fresno (where we are) and Clovis were sweating things out as the fires were coming down the hills quickly. The mountain and foothill communities took the brunt of the damage, I think the fires got to within 15 miles of where we are. That sounds far off but with the high winds, dry summer heat and dried grasslands the 15 miles could’ve gone up pretty quickly.

I hope you enjoyed Yosemite. It’s absolutely beautiful. If anyone hasn’t gone, you should. Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks are also right here. The giant sequoias have to be seen to be believed.
