Climate Change? Nahhh ...

PGA Tour's "season opener" is at Napa Silverado, where some guys are wearing pullovers. It's 66 degrees and smoky, after being 110 last weekend.

 

California National Guard helicopter pilots flew three missions into the burning Sierra National Forest to rescue stranded campers. They pulled out 362 people and 16 dogs over the span of several days. I don't know what medal these guys would be eligible for, but they damn well deserve it.

This was my Weds workday at 11 am.

 

"They're losers and chokers for not doing this in Iraq and Afghanistan". But seriously, amazing stuff.

 

The smoke is starting to get bad again. And not in the weirdly-colored sky way the it is actually harder to breathe way.

 

Our air has improved from hazardous to merely "very unhealthy."

 

Friend of mine lives up toward Butte County and evacuated in a hurry the other day. Thinks his house might be gone.

 

Damn, wish them the best.

 

Officials fearing the worst as 500,000 are trying to flee. Praying for the best.
