How was the weekend sayle? a little of everything. very nice. best story of the weekend: it's still very dry... air still filled with arizona smoke. the only thunderheads building thus far this summer are dry ones with rain evaporating before it hits the ground (verga). out on the lake saturday, one of these dry clumulo-non-nimbus storms builds over the mountain to the west. it produces two (2) thunderclaps, a little spit of wind and then it evaporates. thirty minutes later there's a plume of smoke up in the mountains - a new forest fire from one of the 2 bolts to come out of that storm. within 45 minutes after we see the smoke, along comes one of these mosquito-looking things: mywebpages.comcast.net it sucks up a load of water from the lake in 25 seconds. it made the round trip to the new baby fire every five minutes about a dozen times until it was out. that made me VERY happy. -smokie bare
