WTF - Bay Area sky turns orange.

Fires in SoCal.

Los Angeles was like that yesterday morning. We had overcast and no ocean breeze overnight, so the smoke from the San Bernardino fires 60 miles inland spread all the way to the beach, turning the morning sky muddy brown. It wasn't until the afternoon when the day heated up and ocean breezes started that the smoke was blown back inland and we had white overcast again.

BTDT2 - nice shot of the Egyptian Consulate (That's what we used to tell tourists it was when I lived in the city.)

It’s after 1pm and the sky still looks orange.

Fires in SoCal.

No Santa Cruz Wharf trip today, air quality probably just as unhealthy.

No smoke smell, just orange skies in SCZ.

Nah. Just another gender reveal party in the Bay Area -- gender to be chosen at a later date.

Good! It just hasn't been the same since the face mask requirement. Makes me feel so....clothed.

Sturgis was a bummer, too. No face mask required...but full frontal nudity is frowned upon.

There are huge wildfires all up and down the west coast right now

CA has more acreage burned so far this year, than they did in the entire year last year (and last year was extremely bad)

SoCal hasnt had any bad Santa Ana wind events yet either, which we will be getting from now to about Jan of next year

I used to watch a syndicated tv program at 2 in the morning called Jack Van Impe Presents. Jack and his wife Rexella would broadcast from their basement studio and read various headlines (trouble in the Middle east! Russia has a new atomic missile!) then correlate to a passage in scripture which foresaw whatever calamity (usually from the Book of Revelations). It was great entertainment after a night of pounding beers (I'm not sure if it's still on anymore, as my days of drinking til 2am are long over.)

Wildfires torching entire towns... pandemic infecting millions... upheaval in the streets... maybe Jack and Rexella were on to something with their End of Days predictions...

Y'all better start raking your leaves!

From an expert on the matter:

I see again, the forest fires are starting. They’re starting again in California. And I said, you’ve got to clean your floors. You’ve got to clean your forests.

California has many, many years of leaves and broken trees. And they’re like, like so flammable. You touch them and it goes up. I’ve been telling them this now for three years, but they don’t want to listen.

But they have massive fires again in California. Maybe we’re just going to have to make them pay for it, because they don’t listen to us. We say you got to get rid of the leaves, you got to get rid of the debris, you got to get rid of the fallen trees.

We're just outside of Portland, and we're being told to get ready to evacuate. We've filled our tanks (including a 5-gallon fuel jug for our portable generator), stocked up on water, toilet paper, food, cash, ammo, and beer. We just dropped off a bunch of water and energy bars at the local fire station. We're back home now, just trying to stay indoors with the windows closed unless and until they tell us to evacuate. There are reports of looting already...

Yep. Intel never goes away...it’s just forgotten.
