Pub Day & Red Flags Flying

Today is pub day for Fire Monks in paperback. I’ll be reading at Diesel in Oakland tonight to mark this happy occasion, but I’ll also be thinking about the people in Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah who are experiencing the same sort of weather that led to the Basin Complex fire that threatened Tassajara in 2008. Red flag warnings have been issued in all three states today as forecasters predict dry lightning, low humidity, and high heat–not the kind of forecasts fire managers like to see. May cooler temps come soon.
