Wildfires

In case you hadn't heard, Southern California is ablaze with no end in sight. The winds are horrendous. I didn't think I would see any smoke since we are pretty far from most of them, but one started earlier today about 45 miles from us and the clouds you see in the photo is actually smoke. It covered the sky for miles.


If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience.

We didn't get any smoke in our town until today, Thursday, when the winds changed. The fires are 10-15 miles from us now, and slowly heading in our direction. I think we'll be okay, though, unless the winds really whip up and get away from the firefighters.
