It's been a very windy day here. At one point I went outside and I
smelled smoke, but with neighbors with fireplaces, that isn't normally
unusual. But there was a distinct haze down the road. An hour later I
saw firetrucks going by with sirens blaring. There have been many
fires here, and the news of my county says all firefighters are on call
24/7 for only the second time ever. very high winds but luckily no damage.

Got a call from a collector, second call, looking for my ex. He's never
lived in this house and we've been divorced almost 20 years. The caller
was very intimidating. I can only hope they don't try to contact my
employer since they have my name. I called them back and said I have
nothing to do with him, but it was said to voice mail.

I made a nice dish of stuffed peppers and froze them individually for
later meals. This time I added onion and celery. Then I made up a beer
batter for tomorrow to do some shrimp, green beans and onions.

Still a bit wigged out about the collector call but trying to calm down.
If something an ex of 20 years can affect me now, I'd advise everyone
to never get married.
