Thunderin' succotash

Night interrupted by great crashes of thunder, and we got a sweet little bit of rain to help the greenery. Hair do day came around again, and the normally very quiet stylist was comparatively chatty, telling us how she had gotten responsibility for the holiday cooking for her family on the Fourth; she's Vietnamese, and the menu sounded scrumptious, even on a kind of hot icky day.
Short evening walk, winding up at a friend's house; she was heading down to Beaverton, OR on the train to meet her husband, who was there for work. He had camping equipment, which they planned to use on a weekend kayaking trip on the Columbia River. There's a Washington Water Trail along the river, and it's supposed to be a scenic area. No wild fires in that region yet, at least.

And I hope there are no wildfires there in the immediate future. I hope you and Mr. Perils and the other members of the tribe, far and near, have a happy and safe holiday.
