    Well the sky over pretty much all of the Valley is orange-ish/grey. It looks like the sky in Oblivion. It also smells like smoke really bad. All the schools have to keep the children inside all day because of the air quality.

    I wonder how long this will last.

    It had been really dry all year, and I was surprised that there weren't worse fires this summer. I guess I was premature in my thoughts of good fortune.

    That sucks. I can imagine being worried. I hope that everything is ok. The firefighters seem to be doing a great job protecting as much property and homes as possible. I hope all goes well for you.

    I remember one year when the Mexican AG fires were really bad and the smoke settled over Austin. The smell was horrible and it burned your nose and throat -- I can't imagine how bad it is in Cali right now with the fire right there raging out of control.

    The wifey and I are heading to Anaheim on Sunday because I have training out there. I called the dude today and he said that we should be cool. I'm hoping he isn't bull****ting me just so he doesn't get the class yanked.
