We are less than 100 miles south of Paradise. The smoke was so thick today that the sky was grayish orange, and the sun looked like a tiny bright orange ball. It's so smoky it's hard to breathe. I've been coughing from the smoke. The smell of smoke is everywhere, even inside the house.

The horrors the people of Paradise have gone through and will yet experience are hard to imagine, but I am reminded of them every time I look outside.

There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor. Billions of dollars are given each year, with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of the forests. Remedy now, or no more Fed payments!

That last pic is iconic and is from a decade+ ago...it used to be my screensaver.

The West Coast is in terror mode. If this doesn't shake ppl into believing global climate change is real and here now, what will?
