Fire map

I'm loving this image that maps the current fires in Northern California because it pretty accurately captures how I picture the 500-850 fires (depending on who's counting) in Northern California over the past week.

But I'm not loving the fires. The air is nasty, sooty, yellow-gray. It's like being in the Los Angeles basin in the mid-1980s. Bleah.

My town isn't in any danger, but my thoughts go out to those who have had to evacuate or who have lost their homes.

my brother in law called yesterday to say it's raining ash at his house.

Lovely. Take care of those little wheelchair-lungs of yours. :-)
