Soaring Temperature...

...relatively speaking. Forecast for today was 77 degrees and it's currently 82. Still, it's nice (especially compared to searing southern heat). 

Another external factor to contend with is all the heavy truck traffic (dump trucks and tractor trailer sized dump trucks) traveling in and out on the gravel road directly behind the gallery. The considerable dust generated by their endeavors (hauling rock from old mining operations) is blanketing the gallery, the line, everyone and everything.
