Friends,
Today, being the first day of July, is marked by the extreme fire danger in my little plot of paradise. Will some damn fool decide that his need to see things flashy and sparkly and boomy override the public’s right to not live in a giant ash bin? The safe and sane fireworks stands are open in the desert this week. Cathedral City (home to the Jaunty Parents) and Indio (the “City Of Festivals,” primarily of dirt) have thrown caution to the wind and decided that fireworks should be legal! Whoopee!
I hope their fire departments are willing to drive up the hill to help out. You know, if it should prove necessary.
