Hot, Hot Monday (Free Cat Adoptions Reminder)

We are expecting a high of 99 degrees today - at 7:30 in the morning, it is already 75 outside, and I have the oscillating fan on here in the apartment.  I've cared for and walked Rosie and Remy, and I'm at home with the kits right now. It seems silly, but I am so excited about being home and sleeping in my own bed tonight! And I'm actually going to be sleeping at home until the 28th...  sweet comfort, wonderful kits, lots of love, and all sorts of goodies.  Yes.
   The Springer fire down south of Lake George in Park County doesn't seem to be the monster that the High Park fire is.  Up in Larimer County, a lot more homes have been evacuated; and, unfortunately, there are now signs of looting taking place.  A man was arrested yesterday after having been stopped inside the fire area...  He had stolen government tags on his truck, forged documents claiming he was a fire fighter, and several stolen items from homes in the burn area.  That is totally unacceptable in my book.  ....  There is another Colorado wildfire down near Pagosa Springs, that has burned over 12,000 acres and is about 30% contained.  And besides the huge fires in New Mexico, there is now one burning in Arizona, along the Tonto Rim - that's at 3,100 acres and only 15% contained.  (If you grew up reading Zane Grey westerns, you'll recognize the Tonto Rim area...)
   And a reminder that the Boulder Valley Humane Society is offering free feline adoptions through the rest of the month of June.  Any kitten or cat aged six months or over is available for no charge - that includes a vet check, all vaccinations, spay or neuter, and an ID microchip.  Kittens less than 6 months old are available for adoption at half the usual charge.  There are currently (as of 7:51 a.m. MDT) 68 felines needing a home at the BVHS.
   Here's hoping your week isn't too long or too hot!
