Yes they are. Odd thing is after I reported that our neighbor had one, they
took it out. I wonder why? People are going absolutely nuts around here
trying to cool down. It is hot enough now that fans aren't really cutting
it. My swamp cooler is supposed to come on the 7th. I hope so. Still no
end in sight for this heat. Or drought.

I am now hearing fireworks going off and that scares me. I did wet down the
yard earlier but of course it dried quickly. The fire department is telling
us to keep wetting it lightly as often as we can. If we wait until tomorrow
to start, it won't do much good. I had already figured that out on my own,
knowing how totally dry dirt just repels the water instead of acting like a
sponge.

We have fires everywhere now. 15 of which were set of by two idiot 50 year
old males, throwing flares from a car window and many others from fireworks.
