Today it's definitely dragon weather -- supposed to hit 111, which even I concede is hot. But it's the kind of heat with slight breeze that wraps around you like a lover, caressing your skin, with a physicality that cooler temps just can't match.

Fire-wise, the fire fighters hate the heat, but the humidity is slightly up -- probably to 20% or so -- so they've had success with backburns and feel somewhat confident that they'll get it surrounded soon.

Last night there was a wonderful actual ring of fire on the hills north of me, and I confess if it had been closer I might have tried to hike in and see if I could rescue Bruenhilde. But it may have only appeared to be a ring, given the viewing angle. Point of view is everything. :-)
