how does all this work?
Posterous seems to have a lot of “interactability” with other social media.  this is what I am trying to figure out.  If correct, then this post should show up on facebook and twitter.  let’s see if it does.  let me know if you can see this.  post a comment on twitter to me or on my facebook wall.

Just back from Sonora where I ran trains all weekend with freinds. Smoke better here. Hope we don’t get more lightening.
Jun 30th
visibility only 1/2 mile due to wildfire smoke with no end in site. Like a war zone here. Stay inside. I am going south to get out of it.
Jun 27th
Still only 1/2 mile visibility here due to wildfire smoke. Maybe next week but more lightening this weekend. Going south to get out of it.
Jun 27th
Staying inside today mostly due to smokey outside.
Jun 24th
Fire season here. Lightning strikes over weekend not only knocked out power for a while, but also caused almost 4,000 fires throughout Northern CA. Sunday was pleasantly warm and windy. Monday now is smoke filled. More like an August day, than June

Monday in the rural foothills can be busy. Today it, yet again raining so I will catch up on inside chores while the weeds continue to grow. Hope the wildfire threat is reduced a little.

Curve ball of rain this weekend curtailed mowing. Soft and moist is nice but I am chomping at the bit to complete the fire clearing work.
May 25th
Front “yard” is mowed (all one acre) and snipped. Back yard (2 acres) on Saturday. We only mow once per year when the grass is 3 feet high and dying. Don’t need a tractor. Going to new Indiana Jones movie now for a treat.
May 24th
Mowing season once again here, albeit earlier than past 2 years. Good news is how cool it is outside, bad news is that it might rain..
May 23rd
Think I will go to office today and see what trouble I can cause.

Well, fun time to have a little bronchitis isn’t it?  Need to NOT work in yard for a couple days…darn…
