Saturday Night at the Bowl

Last weekend we went to the Hollywood Bowl to see Steely Dan in concert.

The show was a lot of fun and the place was absolutely packed for the opening night of the season.
The night culminated with a spectacular fireworks display coordinated with the music.

It was a great night to be out - very warm with a nice breeze. The next couple of days the heat became pretty brutal. Of course, the triple-digit temperatures did not keep Aimee from her usual softball games on Sunday and Monday.

Weekend Fire

Saturday was a hot day and a fire broke out a couple of miles from the house. Fortunately it wasn't particularly windy so the fire didn't get too far out of control or become a direct threat to our immediate neighborhood.

There was quite a bit of smoke and we could see the flames from our street but the worst for us was getting dusted by the ashes and everything smelling smoky as we sat out on the deck Saturday night.

On Sunday the water drops continued throughout the day as the fire was mostly contained. It wasn't a very large fire as these things go but it was a little closer to home than we'd like to see.
