For the last couple of days there has been a small army of city workers and contractors clearing brush as a fire break from around the canyon down the street from our house. I do believe they may have been all Hispanic for some odd reason. My mother said they all gather in a circle first thing in the morning and do exercises. Some apparently do them more easily than others.
Eventually they are also going to be clearing a fire break along the canyon behind our backyard. Good thing, too. Canyon fires were always a fear for me and with all the rain we’ve had lately I have no doubt this will be an active fire season come Autumn.
