fire on the mountain!

(please note that the title of this post will be the first and last time a grateful dead reference will appear here at lyrical robot)

my mother and her friend joan picked the most lovely weekend to visit southern california. we have what cnn is terming "an inferno" going on 15 miles away and the predicted high for today is 120 degrees. yes, 120 degrees, the same temperature that many people set their toaster ovens to when re-heating a sandwich. imagine us as cute little sandwiches, slowly browning on the edges, with cheese melting down our sides -- that is what's in the cards for us this fine day.

and, for those readers who have shared in the wonder that is pappy & harriet's liquor license, here is a picture of what pioneertown looks like these days post-fire. luckily, they were able to save P&H as well as the main street, so drunken misadventures will continue unabated, albeit surrounded by a moonscape.
