It is 2 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon. The temperature is nearing 100 degrees and the air is acrid with smoke. All day yesterday I prepared for the worse by checking the working conditions of two fire pumps, organized four fire hoses, cut and hauled away brush too near the house, climbed up on the roof to clean out the gutters, and otherwise, did my best to fire proof the buildings of Windgrove. The above photo was taken of last night's sun set. What looks like cloud is actually smoke from two separate major forest/bush fires. There is an eerie beauty to the sun and its red reflection on the water, but this sort of beauty I'll leave for the smog of Los Angeles.
