We watched the billionaire's quick rocket ride this morning. What a different world it was, when we watched the moon landing on this day in 1969. Grainy black and white TV images and some people sure it was just a hoax. Sounds familiar.
Not much going on here, except I went on a book sorting spree and the car trunk is filled with heavy boxes to donate. I have another pile to drop off in the neighborhood exchange boxes on my walks.
I've always collected books and find it hard letting them go. Why? Share the wealth. It looks like I've hardly made a dent on this shelf, and we have still have books in every room. But it is tidier. What good is a library if you can't find what you're looking for? In old librarian speak, it was called "weeding the stacks."
This is a picture Amanda sent last night from Twisp, looking north on Highway 20. That cloud is a fire exploding. The air pollution levels in town were off the charts yesterday. We had planned to drive over Wednesday to spend a few nights and watch the swim meet, but everything is cancelled. No evacuations in Twisp, but people are getting out of town if they can to avoid the smoke.
A big disappointment coming just when I want to start enjoying the house. Seattle is misty and cool this morning. Unfortunately, windy dry over in Central Washington again today. Hopefully things improve next week and we can go then.
