Where there's fire, there's smoke.
Not right now, LJ. I have a headache. Just when I think you'll let me comment, you disappear. Your teasing will get you nowhere. Frankly, I'm sick of your crap right now. Go sleep on the couch.
Man, it is UGLY out there. UG. LY. I had to morph into an airport taxi service today but I did get a fabulous lunch and a latte (that I'm sipping right now) out of the deal so that made me a happy camper.
It's hard to describe the sheer magnitude of the fire situation over here. San Diego is pretty spread out. I just looked it up - the county's over 4,000 square miles and right now it's all covered in smoke. Thick, smelly, ashy smoke. The whole county is unbreathable. I've lived in Southern California most of my life and we get wildfires on a regular basis. This is by far the worst I've ever seen. From the airport you couldn't even make out the skyscrapers. Drove through a section of the freeway (MCAS Miramar - formerly Top Gun) that just yesterday both sides had been on fire. Smoldering, charred scrub and the eerie, sun-blocking, thick blanket of smoke made the landscape otherworldly. The person I picked up said you could see flames everywhere as she flew into the airport. Ash pelted their windows like snow.
I'm in no immediate danger from any fire line...but the smoke is a different matter. They've been telling us to stay inside unless you absolutely need to go out. Schools and universities are closed and many people aren't going to work. Lots of people are wearing facemasks - even just driving around.
It's very quiet out. Sometimes you'll hear a siren.
I smell like smoke.
