Mondaty, Tuesday, the restaurant, slammed. 2 hours of madness and not keeping up before it's over. An American woman, loudly complaining she can't get servers, telling me to "send someone over", completely oblivious, she's the center of her own show, it only takes one such ambassador to ruin the reputation of an entire country...

Anyways, Wednesday, today off, and now it's smoke, settled in, the slow rain of ash and dust, blotting out the mountain across the lake, the sky, a sooty, sullen sort of heat, 33, 34 degrees, the smoke is stopping it from getting to the 39 and 40 forecast, but it's still plenty hot enough.

Some photos of the sunset...
