After one of the earliest fire seasons I've seen here, and three weeks of fires breaking out one after another, it started raining off an on a week ago. At first it didn't look like it was going to do much--that aggrevating smoky rain state--but then three days ago the heavens opened and it's been pouring buckets intermittently, just massive monsoon-style, gutter-washing downpours. The mud has washed out of my driveway and off the access road, and we're back to gravel. Some of the non-locals have been overheard complaining about the rain, and the locals are quick to educate them about how wonderful this is. This could shape up to be the best summer we've had here in the Interior for several years.

Interesting comment beneath article about the fire started by someone operating a chainsaw.
