Huge Fires

The last week here has been extremely hot and dry.

Unfortunately, several large fires have been burning in the local hills and mountains.

Usually when this happens it is very windy and the fires and smoke spread rapidly.
This time it hasn't been windy but it has been quite hot.

The fires have been burning out of control for about a week and probably won't be contained until the middle of September.

Hollywood Bowl

Saturday night we went to the Hollywood Bowl to see the Tchaikovsky fireworks spectacular.

One of Aimee's co-workers had box seats and invited us to come along.

For the finale, the USC Trojan marching band came out to join in.

It was pretty fun.
