COOLED OFF. As we begin this week, which marks the end of September, we can expect some cooler weather accompanied by moisture to start off October. Although it’s much needed, I won’t complain. With multiple fires raging in Washington and Oregon, and lakes looking like ponds, we truly need some rainfall. However, I hope it doesn’t come down in torrents of rain, causing flooding and damage. A nice, steady rain would be ideal. Fingers crossed. However, the weekend forecast is looking much drier, so for those trying to enjoy those Fall campi...
