just some pictures i took of my car this morning -- the hood of my car (see how the ashes gathered in the crease?) and the roof of my car. the ash pieces are getting bigger and more varied, yet the fire is actually heading away from us (though getting much bigger).
fortunately no scuba divers were hamed in the fighting of this fire.

r.i.p., dee dee ramone. not to sound cynical or anything, but initial reports indicate that he got good and ... well, you know, sedated. *sigh*
whoa ..... I'm in awe
of the ashes? it is rather a lot of ashes for as far away as we are.
it's changed the weather too. it's usually a little overcast in june, but now it's totally foggy here (however, where the fire is, it's 90 degrees and dry like kindling)
Okay, I'm a dumbass. Ashes from what?
the big fire in ojai, as mentioned in my previous post (from monday) called: it's ashy (or something like that). it's like, 50 miles away, and we're getting ashfall here. big fire.
On that scuba diver link... anyone catch the heading on that story? *grin*
The picture of the roof of your car reminds me of some linoleum tile we used to have. Cool pattern.
When you see how heavy ash from a fire so far away can be spread so easily, it really makes you understand how devastating nuclear fallout would be, and how widespread it would reach.
Thanks about the nuclear fallout distance. Another item to write in my list of fear factors..
My list is getting mightly long...
That's gotta do a number on the asthma.
actually, i was reading in the (purloined) paper today, the smoke has stayed very high up in the atmosphere, and the particles that do fall are too big to be breathed in.
still, psychosomatically, i'm extra-wheezy.
