Have to give huge kudos to our firefighters here in the Black Hills. They quickly jumped on both the Custer and Rapid City wildfires with a clear game plan to keep them from spreading. Even with red flag conditions all this week, they've done a fantastic job establishing effective firebreaks, increasing containment, and keeping the flames away from town.

Grim moaning good friends. I greet you well.
A quick and dirty post to keep my hand in before I'm whisked off to the garden and the sun lounger.
Rudi and Barbara Walker, holidaying in London from Buffalo, NY, told the Daily Telegraph on Tuesday that they were taken aback on Monday evening to hear the Islamic call to prayer ringing through central London. And further, that they would not be allowed near Trafalgar Square - the beating heart of London - unless they were Muslim and intending to attend the adhan, which marks the end of Ramadan.
Metropolitan Plod enforced this restriction - which, of course, also prevented native born Englishmen from going near one of the most famous public spaces in the world.
Can you imagine New York or Los Angeles coppers stopping you as you go about your business, asking you your religion, and then telling you you can't go any further because you don't ...
An Iconic American Life Remembrance:
Frederick "Fred" McFeely Rogers (March 20, 1928 – February 27, 2003) was an American educator, Presbyterian minister, songwriter, author, and television host. Rogers was most famous for creating and hosting Mister Rogers' Neighborhood (1968–2001), which featured his gentle, soft-spoken personality and directness to his audiences.
Rogers received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, some forty honorary degrees, and a Peabody Award. He was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame, was recognized by two Congressional resolutions, and was ranked No. 35 among TV Guide's Fifty Greatest TV Stars of All Time. Several buildings and artworks in Pennsylvania are dedicated to his memory, and the Smithsonian Institution displays one of his trademark sweaters as a "Treasure of American History".
