I shall try out your suggestion about using the soaker hoses. I suppose that any of the books by Lee Child make good thriller reading for the beach. Also I suggest Max Weber for heavier reading. His book about Protestantism and the rise of capitalism is a foretelling of the world we inhabit. If you like well written, light weight fare in the area of popular history anything by Simon Winchester is good, especially his books about China. Thank you for posting. Thank you for the compliment.

I've put down soaker hoses this year and have had tremendous success with them as the water is directed where needed. Also find I can run the soaker later in the morning and earlier in the evening and get good results. Thanks for the tips on Flicks! I "forget" about the down time that summer can (and should) offer. Another post mentioned your library. Any books you can recommend? I love to read, but so often have trouble finding a really good book. Thanks. P.S. Also love your catalog. Loved the mail message.

You folks in coastal California are lucky. I am particularly fond of the San Francisco Bay area climate. The fog is like a dream. My experiences of California have been 99% inland, much like my distant Appalachian relatives who actually moved out there.
