The California fires are devastating the northern part of state.

I'm thinking of the victims and pray that everyone can get out of harm's way. I just left California after picking up a load and the smoke was tick & visible from about 100 miles away.

Glad you are heading away from the smoke. Safe travels.

I got a call from our school district telling us to keep kids inside because of the bad air quality. Kids were complaining about having trouble breathing today during recess. One girl said she was having bad asthma effects. I kept her with me inside today.
