California's Burnin' Again

Last week there were 8 separate fires in California. Air quality alerts were being issued in Las Vegas because of the smoke blowing in from California. That's wild!

The worst part is that the "official fire season" isn't until October, which is when the warm dry winds of the Santa Ana start blowing.

I have a bunch of friends who live in California and are on FaceBook. Only one of my friends has actually mentioned that the smoke is pretty unpleasant. Everyone else seems to be in some mystical LaLaLand. Who cares if it's all burning ...... We're in California!!!! Yipppeeee

Last weeks Time magazine had an article about the fires. I was surprised when they said that one of the reasons the fires were so bad in California is because "there are more people to start them". Well, as wild as this may sound... it's true. The fires in California ARE NOT a natural, normal occurrence in nature, such as a hurricane or tornado. These are fueled by evil intent. Yea, sounds like just the right kind of place to live.

We'll just keep our fingers crossed and pray for every one's safety.

Ciao
