TGIF

So this week has been uneventful, meaning nothing major has really happened. Today is my mom’s birthday, she’s like 29 now or something like that. Not sure how that works out, but that’s how it is. If I’m not mistaken, I believe it is also Muse’s birthday as well. She’s 29 or something like that too. Funny how that works out isn’t it?

Meesh has been really busy this week, there have been even more fires, and they’re escalating. In Spokane, a few houses have burned too. So sad! A lot of people are being evacuated. She’s been sending a lot of folks out to California as well. I heard they sent in the National Guard to help with the wildfires. It’s the first time in 30 years they’ve done this. This years Fire season isn’t cool at all. Let’s hope Meesh gets to come home soon. I know she’ll be in Wenatchee at least until the 14th. The chances of her coming home early are slim I think.

Katie has been playing some D&D! Anyone closer to me interested in putting together a campaign? It’s too bad Katie doesn’t live even 1 hour closer to me, I might consider driving it to play. Could be worth it. Anyone else play D&D? She’s playing 4th Edition, which she says is pretty cool. I can’t believe that it’s changed that much, but I guess that’s cool.

I’ve been playing a little bit of Call of Duty 4, and have been trying to play online with a few friends, but man, I suck so badly, and I have no idea what I’m doing in the game. Anyone play Call of Duty 4 and wanna help school me in the game?

On the gaming note, do people still play Counter Strike? I’ve been playing a little bit of CS:source, and I’m really liking it. But I just don’t know anyone that still plays it. Anyone got a good server I can play on? What’s the latest and greatest maps and such? Any ideas? Help a fellow gamer out!

Fire Season

Every year in Washington State, we have fire season. It’s pretty much the same as in California or any area where it always catches fire in the mountains. The eastern side of Washington is primarily desert, and there’s plenty of brown everywhere. It’s very dry (as opposed to here!) and the mountainous areas catch on fire very easily.

Meesh has been asked to go out to Wenatchee, WA, where there is one fire dispatch center. Luckily, she’ll be working in an office environment with Air Conditioning, calling fire crews and coordinating all the fire efforts. It’s a pretty crazy job, since there are so many fires. While the fires are not so bad this year (or so I hear), it’s still bad enough to where they need the help to call and coordinate. Oh, and did I mention the days are long, but the pay is pretty good? Still she’s not here, so it’s pretty quiet around here.

Oh, and you know how I mentioned that she’s in an office environment? One year she went, they were in the middle of nowhere, with tents and it was very hot. Very, very hot. So yeah, this is nice compared to what it could be like. The weather forecast for Wenatchee today said it was going to be 95. Whew. I don’t think it’s going to be 80 here in Olympia today.

Photohunt : Bright

Last year I took a trip out to Wenatchee because Meesh was out there working on fire dispatch, and I took this at the hotel that she was staying at. I love the cloud formations. Very cool. You can see the sun trying to take over and making the shot a bit too bright in that area.
