over the century mark here in Medford, Oregon, but back in Reno, temperatures soared to 108 degrees, which is very unusual.
Needless to say, there have been fires near that part of the country, though nothing as yet on the scale of the Angora Fire, which has been contained, by the way.
At around 12:30, I will be hitting the road for the next 11 or 12 days, so I seriously doubt I will be able to access the internet at all during that time. I don't look forward to flying pretty much all day tomorrow to get to Italy, and I'll probably be squeamish as hell over the turbulence, but I do want to visit that country.
