Some rain would be nice. And no wind.<br /><br />Thanks for the alert, Bellis. I won't be coy. I emailed Tim; I thought he might be interested because his own "thanks" from altadenablog is visible in the last photo! Altadenablog is indeed awesome. It was Tim Rutt and the community forum he provided at altadenablog.com that gave us all a place to go for news during the fire. No other media outlet held a candle to Altadenablog.<br /><br />Linda, I lived in a home with a fence that was tagged almost daily for two years before we finally just moved. I guess there are different forms of tagging--some artistic, some gang-related, some for a greater purpose. I don't know where the line is drawn. I just know my home was defaced on a regular basis so I'm not exactly the go-to gal for objectivity on the subject!<br /><br />I'm glad folks like this post. I sure enjoy having these photos on the blog.

I like the way you put it, Jean. <br /><br />Hiker, I thought of you when we were talking to them because you said, regarding firefighters, that they're "invariably nice" or something like that. Very gracious men.<br /><br />Margaret, I think Vanda would buy a copy of the calendar. I have July and August here. A good start.<br /><br />If anyone thinks their thank yous go unnoticed, think again.
