“Behind” the levee is the special A99 flood zone. That can mean that the area behind the levee is protected be the levee from the 1% flood, the corps won’t certify the levee, but things are happening to improve the levee. A lot of Natomas is in an A99 zone

Hot buttered rum string band on Friday . I remember the first time seeing this band (only 2 members are still there: Nat and Bryan) at Cato’s in Oakland. It’s been several years since I last saw them. They played a history of bluegrass music, which was fun to hear.

I spent a minute looking at the city of SD wildfire maps. Wow! Not only are the zones combined to only be VH, but the boundaries were expanded. Screen grabs of an example, basically showing the same area of hillcrest-ish area

We visit this area of our neighborhood in hope to hear or see the (apparent) resident great gray owl(s?), but the sunsets never get old.

Stars aligned this afternoon with conditions and personal schedule for a small burn. Entry into an area close to the house that we haven’t burned yet.

Post work mini burn. It was quite obvious when the humidity changed.

And fuck the greedy scumbags and spineless yes men!
