Robert is the director of the division of the budget. Moneys is the secretary to the governor. James has been tremendous help here. The numbers are still increasing. That is the line we are tracking.

Couple of 40s. Santa rosa has ended their dry stretch at the airport. It looks like it will hold together. Lets hope it does give us some light rain. We can get through this probably after about 37, 38 days. So look for clouds, temperatures coming down. Upper 50s and low 60s on the temperatures after a couple of days of upper 70s and the 80s.
