The sun is tinted red and all the sky is filled with smoke

As California is ablaze.

It is the fire season because we've been in our drought season, soon to be followed by the flood season, where scorched and barren hills melt into mud flows during our brief rainy season. At any time we may suddenly celebrate earthquake season.

At least we don't have hurricanes....

Thinking of you, ellroon, and hoping for the best...

Oh, don't worry. I'm snug in suburbia surrounded by freeways. But ash is gently falling onto my laundry as it hangs outside and the orange-tinted sun bathes everything in gold.

I hate this season...

Bush is going to play disaster tourist and FEMA is on its way. Not much different than hurricanes.

Was a bit concerned for you, even sent an e-mail. Glad you're away from the danger, at any rate.
