The Ranch News

Greetings from Willow Creek Ranch.

It's maybe a good thing we aren't having a 2008 reunion this time around. Last Saturday we had an electric storm, no rain but many lightning strikes Boom, Boom, Boom, right on top of us, knocked out our power for 3 hours.

It set off 800 fires in N. California. Our air quality is yucky, thick with smoke. In the Mideast they have too much water, here we have to little. I think Mother Nature has her little jokes!

Dave Hall just had to have emergency surgery, he suddenly had his retina detach on one of his eyes. He went to the Dr. here in our area, and that Dr. sent him right down to Sacramento. He isn't allowed to come back here yet because of the elevation. He has to keep his head lowered for a few days, not fun.

On August 3rd, Steve Noonan, Michael Ray Cox, Harmonious Combustion, and Bob Sheffer are doing a gig together in the town of Rough and Ready's Grange Hall together. Should be fun.

Next reunion planned for June, 2009.

Helen, I saw photos of all the fires last night on the news -- scary.

Stay safe up there!
