There are several wildfires burning in California right now. One is just a few miles west of where I live -- the Holy Fire (more like the Unholy Fire, but it's named for the canyon where it started, which is named for a guy nicknamed Holy Jim). A lot of people are under evacuation (but not me -- it's still a good 7-8 miles from me), and several school districts are closed due to the smoke (just as school was getting started -- my district, Perris Union High School District, started August 8, and only got the first day in. We won't be back until at least Monday the 13th.)
Stay safe, FOLCs in California -- and elsewhere, in this disastrous year.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
- Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
