Under Siege

There is some favorable weather conditions coming but we will be in this nasty soup for at least another twenty four hours. The smoke from the wildfires is mixing with the foggy marine air to cause visibility to plummet here. We came back from the mountains a day early and here we are with this situation.

Fortunately I saw a FaceBook post from the Department of Ecology three days ago and they showed how to red neck together a air purifier using a box fan bungeed on to a furnace filter. I ran out and got filters on Thursday and put two purifiers together. My Rebecca has had them running on high for at least a day now so the air inside is pretty darn good at the moment.

So we are managing onward. Seattle Seahawks Football season starts this morning in Atlanta so that is a bright spot. Also Esther Jantzen is having a Zoom book launch this AM which we plan to make part of. She has this terrific mystery tale for teens that takes place on the Camino. It is entitled: WALK: Jamie Bacon’s Secret Mission on the Camino de Santiago. She has been working on it for years and finally it is here!

The weatherman is also promising some rain for days this week which be a godsend. Getting out from one of our current problems would be great. Currently we have pile-o-problems going on, getting Old Testament.

So time to dig up some breakfast and get the day put together. Hope that you are handling things where you are. We all need prayer.

soupy loves, Felipé.
