The entire state is burning...

More than 800 fires are burning in the state right now, many sparked by a recent set of thunderstorms.

Right now, the only fires even remotely close to us are the Hummingbird Fire and the Whitehurst Fire, both in south county around Gilroy. The main effect on us has been smoke. The Bay Area is covered in a brownish haze, and its even worse out in the Stockton/Modesto area. At times, effective vision was down to about a quarter mile, and the quality of light.. well, I think I have an idea of what life under a K0v would be like.

Luckily, I don't have major respiratory or allergy issues. So I'm just dealing with a raw throat and watering eyes

i'm just amazed....

that we didn't have an conflagration down here over the 4 days or so of ridiculous heat...... i'm thinking it was too hot for even the idiots to go out.

it's 1977 all over again.
