Re: [RBW] Re: Good wishes for those on list affected by CA wildfires

It's not good up North. We typically get worse down here in the South in October when the dry Santa Ana winds start to blow in. It's been a hot summer so far so I'm not looking forward to those winds. I'll be clearing out some brush around the house soon as a preventative measure. Good luck to those currently affected!

Remember that the areas in darker red are burning, and the areas in lighter red (orange?) are under an evacuation order (meaning residents need to pack up and leave).  Even in Silicon Valley, the air quality is bad enough that friends with asthma are avoiding any outdoor activities in fear of exacerbation. Even indoors, my eyes are beginning to water a bit, which reminded me of when I flew into LA in the mid-90s, saw the thick brown layer of smog blanketing the region, and then felt it in my eyes.

Our air is hazy all the way in Vegas, so I can’t imagine what it’s like for our Californian friends. Are you out there riding in the smoke and ash-filled air? Staying in? Anyone having to evacuate? 2020...the hits just keep coming.  I’m so sorry, and I hope you’re safe. ❤️ On Saturday, August 22, 2020 at 11:48:17 AM UTC-7 Patrick Moore wrote: Wow.

As my friend at Tilted Shed Ciderworks said on Monday, “Here we go again.” Looks like the roads I rode last weekend are now either evacuated or burned out. Dozens of acquaintances are evacuated, and the smoke and heat are oppressive. The wind just picked up, and we may have more dry lightning on Sunday.  Waking up in a sleeping bag by the ocean to the End Times Thunder and Lighting Show was pretty intense. “Oh this will go down in the oral histories.” Philip Global Warming, CA On Friday, August 21, 2020 at 4:48:33 PM UTC-7 Patrick Moore wrote: I spent ~5 years on SoCal -- Calabasas/Malibu and Santa Paula/Ojai and Pasadena and Atherton (girlfriend) way back in the '70s and early '80s, college and hanging around afterward. I recall yearly wildfires and the little everyday earthquakes; but nothing like the last few years, which have been rather apocalyptic. I just read on the CR list that a well-known builder lost his property. Is Walnut Creek affected? I hope all living there and reading this are safe.  Here in high desert ABQ, NM the sun has long since burned off most fire fuel, but I live in the little green belt -- bosque -- adjacent to the Rio Grand; the summer before I bought my house, there was a bosque fire, after which the City went in and cleaned out the thickets of imported willows and other aliens so we've not had one since. But I don't use a charcoal grill. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick Moore Alburquerque, Nuevo Mexico, Etats Unis d'Amerique, Orbis Terrarum -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
