Fire and Rain

From Gila Community Website

 I woke up yesterday to the acrid smell of smoke. Not the camp fire smell that has been in the air for the last couple of months, but rather a smell like welding. A smell that has an electrical of chemical component... an obvious structure fire. Arsonists have struck again. The highly revered penny park has been set ablaze. 
   The heavens also blessed us yesterday with a brief rain shower. The accumulation did not amount to much....but it did cool things off and prove that it can actually happen...Richard
