Alpaca
This is an alpaca, taken last weekend in Maryland. They are pretty cute. Check out the eyelashes!
Today we had another mandatory fun day, left work at 9:30 and went to a baseball game, then home by 2:15. It was not too bad, for baseball. We all sat in the outfield on our lawnchairs on the berm and ate hot dogs for 3 hours. Not bad work if you can get it. There were about 5 balls hit out where we were, one home run and some hop over the fence types. We let the little kids get them, as they seemed to enjoy it.
The brush fires continue to be a problem here, with the freeway closed in the morning and other road closings occasionally. So far I think about 6000 acres in Brevard county have burned. Fortunately very few homes, maybe only 1. They say the fires actually burn under the ground sometime and start what they call a "muck fire", which can smolder for days and pop up some distance away from where it started. I think such events are as nature intended, we are just living in the wrong place. So far it has not impacted us much, other than smelling a little smoke now and then. If we wanted to drive to Orlando, that would be another story! Fortunately we pretty much sit tight most of the time.
Hope all are well!
