Summers in California are normally hot and uncomfortable, however right now there are 840 fires burning in the state! It's June...not what is normally thought of as "fire season"...that is usually October and November when there has not been any rain for six months. There is a orange-grey tint to the atmosphere. The sun is an orange ball. Step outside and the air has a thickness to it that you can literally feel as you breath in. But they warn you not to do too much of that...breathing. They rate the air quality. It is "unhealthy" today. I worry about my pugs and their breathing. Their little lungs and short noses already make it difficult for them to breathe when it is hot. And it is hot. Not as hot as it can get, but it is in the 90's. I take them out to go to the bathroom and then quickly usher them back in to the house.
OK, I guess I listen to too much Coast to Coast AM, but I can't help but wonder if these are then end times. God said he wouldn't destroy the earth with water again (although those along the Mississippi River probably have some doubt right now) but that means that fire is fair game. Everyone always accuses left leaning California of being the "new" Sodom and Gomorrah", maybe the Big Guy is trying to make a point here. Or maybe we have all just screwed up the environment so much that we have made this state a tinder box.
No matter what the reason, I worry what the rest of the fire season is going to be like...I pray we are spared.
