So - living in the mountains is proving to be real "interesting". Today was 81* - and in less than 2 hours - it dropped to 58*.... and the black sky boiled with lightening and tremendous rains and huge hail....

A strike hit the side of "Sun Peak" -- which happens to be the base of the area we're building our new house here in. You can see the "wind tunnel" effect thanks to the smoke... and thanks to the torrential rains... it was put out. In another 5 minutes those town homes would have been in real peril! The winds were howling and that's never good for containing fires!!
