Happy Independence Day!
Hopefully you have fun and safe plans. Please keep in mind that California is prone to terrible wildfires and we have very dry and hot conditions right now that lend themselves to new fires and worsening of existing fires. If you’re going to use fireworks, please do so responsibly and safely, following these handy guidelines. Always have a bucket of water and a hose on standby and try to light them as far away from dry vegetation as possible.
I’m quite fond of all of you and don’t want to see anyone hurt.
