Yep, my whole family has soar throats. My 4 year old grandson woke up with a croup attack at 4:00 a.m. The dogs and I feel too couped up. The sky and landscape look post-nuclear. And, I have not played Tennis since Sunday!
pwd72s:
I literally live in the shadow of Mt. Wilson, so I have been watching the aircraft drop water and fire retatrdent for days now. That Spruce Goose looking aircraft (Martin Meteor) that made the BIG water drop yesterday was a sight to behold. The pilot stated that it costs $2.00 per gallon to make a drop in his plane. It holds 7,000 gallons of water so that is $14,000 per drop. He made the statement to emphasize how cost effective his airplane is. Those 747's must have cost a bundle of money. Oh well, there go the California State Garage Sale proffits--doh!
