Response back from Colorado wildfire central. External fire sprinklers aren’t a good option here. Too many things can go wrong. So that means we’re down to defensible space, good roofing and fate. Well, there are plenty of us. At least whatever the Elk Creek Fire District guy recommends it will be something I can do. Learning how to use a chainsaw and ax, peavy and splitting wedge will come in handy here.

Big rain again yesterday and last night. So far the humidity and the rain feel a lot like Minnesota, though I noticed Andover hit 92 the other day. There the nights are warmer already and the days have begun to heat up, too. We remain cooler and more bearable during the day, cool enough at night.
