Well, I'm in California right at the moment, and it's gone from above 100 to about 80 very recently.
This is kind of the time of year, this and springtime, when we get some foggy mornings, which are really cool.
The fog right over the mountains where I can see, you know, rolls in off the ocean and cools everything off.
So it's kind of a blessing to our weather pattern, which is why we've attracted Joe Beaver to the central coast of California, by the way.
Well, but there's also been a lot of fire smoke, wildfire smoke haze in a lot of different places, including here.
Yeah, there's the, of course, there's lots of smoke in north central Texas with that big Ross fire praying for all the families and the structures and the cattle.
But it does look in the last few days like, again, I'm not a fireman and all I get is to try to find the credible reports.
But it has small spread lines, but they're able to do, they're starting to be able to kind of make it live within itself.
I mean, it was jumping, you know, 20,000 acres or something a night and it doesn't look like it's doing that.
And so maybe, and then there's rain, there's rain, there's like a hurricane thing coming in and Houston and up there is getting it.
I don't think it's going to push far enough up there for the Ross fire, but man, it's deadly dangerous.
