July 20, 2005

A friend of mine who lives in the mountains near Big Bear just had hail the size of marbles. He said his neighbor's windows were broken. Crazy weather for July, but this year, almost the wettest on record ever, has been generally strange when it comes to the weather department. I especially enjoyed the [wildflowers](http://eecue.com/images_archive/eecue-album-1168-1-mojave_flora_and_fauna.html) in the desert that was more like a [paradise](http://eecue.com/images_archive/eecue-album-1149-1-mojave_flowers.html) after the torrential rain that fell this year.
