Aug 2018 and CALIF is on fire
The Mendocino fire is now the biggest fire EVER in California.
The Carr fire is up near Redding, started at Whiskeytown Lake and is also huge.
There is a blaze threatening Yosemite.
And other fires....
More than 800 structures lost.
This all started in July, and is far beyond a normal fire season. Nine lives have been lost, to date. God bless and protect our firefighters, and everyone else working on these fires. One death was a dozer driver. One was a technician for a power company. Another was a technician en route from his town to the Carr fire. Another was the fiancee of a friends' niece. It's DANGEROUS out there.
Meantime, in Sacramento, the air has been smokey enuf to obscure the sun for weeks now. Inhalers are getting lots of use.
Today, i can see some blue sky. I saw a little yesterday, but today, the blue is more sure of itself.
