The Terrace Mountain Fire is still alive. Fears that the incoming cold front will mean an increase in wind velocity and that the root fires causing the falling of trees will mean more danger for fire fighters do not portend an end to the situation soon.

Down here, at the North End the skies were clear for the first day in weeks. Yesterday I could work in the yard without having asthma problems and my eyes watering from smoke. It was an immense relief. Gaia is angry. Watching the tsunamis hitting the shoreline in Asia, hearing of death through flooding, listening to East Coast residents bemoaning the lack of summer and West Coasters moaning from the oppressive heat reminds me of how my body works. First it whispers something to me gently, then it speaks up. If I fail to change my behavior (as I frequently do) then comes the yelling, shouting, screaming. Nature is yelling at us.

Now Cameron is into his third day of being warm to the touch and having cluster head aches. His, however, is a man flu. His mood is less than mellow. Also, the fact that he had three jobs waiting for him to complete while he feels like human sludge isn’t helping.

My two seven foot works from the Elements series are hanging at the Bean Scene North and look spectacular there. The space is very contemporary and shows off my art in a setting it craves to be. Cement, steel, glass, dark colors and lots of light. The art work shows like a jewell in that setting.
