Ah, yes, a former local! Thanks, Graybeard!

Property damage wasn't too bad for us. We had 4 major "branches" come down. One is on the roof and will require the chainsaw to remove. And one fell directly on our power line between the pole and the house. That one will result in us being one of the last to get power back. More and more people are getting generators but probably only about 10% of us have them. At our house, we still have hot water and heat-- both propane in my case-- so it's not that bad. And we can cook on the barbeque if we want something hot. It's really nothing compared to what alot of people endure in rougher climates. We'll just miss a few TV shows this week. Our 2 Siamese are the most annoyed because our routines have changed this week and you know how much cats hate that.

The updated date for the Yosemite Run will be either June 18 or 25.

Considering the current gas prices ($3.93/gal in Fresno), I need to get a head count for this event.

Not sure if we can make it on the 18th, the 25th might be better for us. Really would love to go but time will tell.

I hope we can make it but not quite sure what our schedule is. We had a great time last year when we came up.
