Happy birthday, Rich. Today is?my birthday, too. Mark Souders 300H Mohrsville, PA -----Original Message----- From: Richard Barber <c300@xxxxxxx> To: 'Ray Jones' <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxx>; 'Warren Anderson' <wranderson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: 'Chrysler 300 Broadcast' <Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; 'Matt Allyn' <allynentertainment@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wed, Sep 2, 2009 9:07 pm Subject: [Chrysler300] Everyone talks about the weather, but... Report from the "other" Brentwood, 30 miles west of Stockton, 345 miles NW of the LA neighborhood of Brentwood. Mostly cloudy and hot with 96 degrees at 5PM and light breeze. No sign or smell of smoke from southern fires, but drove through two smoky areas from smaller fires on I-5 Monday near Auburn and Sacramento while returning from the Tacoma meet. We have had serious and large grass fires in the hills west of us, but generally with little damage as there are few structures there. The whole state is a tinderbox in so many ways as we proceed through several kinds of drought, so more fires can be expected for the next two months before the rains (hopefully) come. Like with our 300's, crises can be expected when we are too broke to fixem. Back in Iowa, it often rained and turned cool and gray on my birthday (today). Not so in sunny CA. Friend Louis Barrie wants to move to Hawaii. Mauna Loa can put out a lot of heat and fire, also! And we've been exposed to floods, blizzards, dust storms, hail storms, ice storms, tornadoes, fog, hurricanes, monsoons, prairie fires, forest fires, earthquakes, lightning and droughts over the years from Iowa to Texas and now California. It's always sumthin'. Kinda like the continuous barrage of questions on that great initial batch of 17,000+ Chrysler 300's. I've seen flooding, lightning, earthquakes, fog, firestorms and monsoons emanating from those brutes from time to time--as well as dust storms when they are on cam. Best wishes for survival and good healthy air to our friends and their friends in the smoke and fire zones at this time and in the future. God bless and protect the firefighters.

Good luck to all, Having had a tornado thru the area 5 months ago, I know how terrible it can be for those directly involved.

I remember living in SOCAL and big fires in the areas that are now burning and the news says that was forty years ago. Gosh and good luck if you are near any of them. .
