Would someone tell me my name?
Yep, the ultimare in confusion. We found out, the gardner trapped the gopher in one neighbor's yard, but my other neighbor has tons of gophers, who invaded my yard, so gopher man did the treatment anyway (these little guys have been playing hide and seek for a long time, and I would like to be able to walk in the yard without twisting an ankle!).

We have been in the high 90's and had a large brush fire. There were blockades, so I couldnt get to the highway or anything. I packed and was ready to evacuate. This fire was much closer than the one 2 years ago. And the camera jammed. There was something wrong with the card. I found a small one and took 2 pictures. We heard helicopters all day, my neighbor and I got together. Then, the lock to the front door broke! I was able to get someone to fix it before the blockades moved up the hill. Today, my back is killing me, the air smells awful, and when I looked out the door, I saw a new plume of black smoke. It was small, and heard the helicoppters again. The thing that really makes me mad, was to hear that it was arson! Luckilly, though no one was hurt, and the fire departments of several towns responded-- I will post 2 pictures of what I saw out the front of my house. As this is the second time I've been through this, and have a neighbor who has lived in the canyons longer, and been through this more times, that helps. It also really helped to be able to spend time with my neighbors when things got really tense--

Well--things seem to be either all or none-- but being able to have friends to share with makes many things a lot more tolerable.

Here are the pics:
