California earthquake / Preparing for fireworks

Last night I went to bed early (before midnight) as I only got two hours of sleep the day before.  Woke up at 6:00 a.m. but decided to stay in bed until 8:00 a.m.  Sometimes the cats surprise me no doubt they are smart.  Paquito came to my window and started whining that he wanted his breakfast so had to get up.

Did my morning chores and by the time I was finished I was a soggy mess.  How many daily showers do I have to take?  Was going to head into town when I heard about the 6.4 earthquake that hit California and decided to watch the news instead.

The first person I thought of was blogger Gypsy of On The Road Again fame.  However, they soon posted a map of the location where it occurred and it was far away from her thank goodness.  They interviewed a lot of people via telephone and there were so many aftershocks that people were feeling them as they spoke to reporters.  So I blew my afternoon watching TV.

I am not looking forward to tonight for as soon as the 4th of July celebrations conclude in the city those same people will find their way to the county to pop more fireworks.  I know the cats will be scared but I can not bring them inside the house.

I do not know if anyone recalls that last 4th of July the neighbor three lots down lost her house due to fireworks. The same happens in Houston, I  live in Harris County and popping them is permissible.

This morning I made sure to set up the hoses just in case.  All I can do is be prepared. We had a high of 96 low of 76 with a heat index of 103 degrees.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
