Weirdest weather report I'VE seen lately...
Okay, so I've been locked in my apartment with the A/C on most of the day, talking on a couple of phone calls that took a combined several hours. Apparently, I've missed something by not going outside. I happened to check My Yahoo page before turning in, and did a double-take on the graphic where I get my local weather. Okay, never seen THAT happen before.Seems I wasn't aware that there are (and I quote) OVER 600 FIRES burning in northern California, mostly sparked by lightning and being spread by winds. None of them TOO close to here, but close enough to change my local weather report to SMOKE. Is that an actual weather condition? I've never seen that used before. You would think, having lived for seven years in San Diego, that I would have.
Man, I was thinking about going out and having a cigar before I turn in, but now that seems like it would just be derivative.

Now it's up to 847 fires, Mike.
When we were traveling home from SF on Sunday we did see a big fire burning in the hills. Contained pretty quickly, though.
Funny thing was, I was hearing the distant rumble of thunder all day at the baptism party, but everyone said they were planes or something.
I knew it wasn't planes. For pete's sake, we get thunderstorms here at least once a week.
But being out of the fire-mindset for the past few years, I didn't quite realize what was going on, even though there must have been plenty of lightning strikes because there sure were plenty of fires.
Smoke, huh? I've never seen that, either!
