Through My Eyes

I can’t even be original.

Wildfire July 9, 2008

So there’s a HUGE wildfire about an hour and half away from my house.

We’re getting their leftovers. All those smoke. It’s terrible for them. There was a huge fire here on my property in the 80’s and it burnt down a house before the previous owners rebuilt it. There was a fire about two houses away from mine at the end of May. Jeez, California and their wildfires. At the same time, I’m glad we don’t get tornadoes, hurricanes, and such. Those scare me. I’m used to wildfires and earthquakes. I even used to live on San Andreas fault line and experienced the major earthquake in 1989 when I was in my ballet class. It was nothing to me, just a little cleaning up in the kitchen and on bookshelves.

The sun is an incredible shade of red right now because of all the smoke. We’re literally covered in smoke and it’s driving me crazy. Majority of my summer here in California has been covered in smoke from all those wildfires nearby. I haven’t seen a clear blue sky in maybe a month. I hope it’ll all clear up before I leave for New York because I would like to see a typical summer day in California for once. I don’t know if that’ll happen.

Yay for natural disasters.
