Gamble in Summer

Hot, hot, hot is California in Summer. I seem to be spending a lot of time in the shade. Inside. Or on walks stopping to sniff more under trees than under the open sky. Big bunny at Gamble Garden is doing well. No flowers for his eyes yesterday. Pumpkins plumping up.
I feel a hush in the air. Waiting for Halloween? Waiting for that chubasco to hit in Baja del Sur today? That search for a missing famous pilot in Nevada and California?
Alice dug to the bottom of a big pile of things in a closet to find her heavy flying jacket and survival kit for search sorties. She said all missing aircraft searches in the USA have the same effort for everyone. Being famous is no help to those missing. It just means that CNN and some other national news outlets get interested. Maybe she will fly out of Bishop for that search tomorrrow? Who knows?
