You're lucky!Nah. . . . It's 82* outside, down from 85 earlier![]()
Here it feels like the end of the world. That the climate change disaster just hit us headon. These news photos - 50 miles apart - represent all of Northern California while the Camp Fire burns 150 miles north of us. 42 dead so far and sure to be more found. No rain since Easter, none forecast, just low humidity and high winds returning to where this fire began. Breathing here feels like when you use too much Clorox cleaning the shower. I read that Sacramento is handing out particulate masks, the same ones firefighters use, free at all firehouses. There's no place to get away from it.
Southern California is similar, and with the celebrities down there it probably gets more news coverage. I read a quarter million people were under evacuation orders there at one point.
"May you live in interesting times".
