The ashes this time are thicker than before because the fires are much closer than before (in Orange County). I went for a donut run this morning and, not thinking about it, opened the door to the car and the suction pulled a handful of ashes into the car, making it look like I’ve been smoking a pack of Lucky Strikes each day since I bought the car. And turning on the fan? Forget it.

A few shots of Ann’s car this morning. Remember I’m at least 20 miles from the nearest fire:

The winds have died down but it’s still expected to be hot. You can still smell things burning in the air and my eyes continue to burn. It’s gonna be another bad day in terms of air quality so we’re staying indoors again. And hats off to everybody out there risking their lives in order to shut these thing down. Stay safe and good luck.

I had friends who went to fight the fires too although I didn’t go.
