Up here in Northern California, we’ve been under a cloud of smoke for a week from the fires in Napa and Sonoma.

Horridly beautiful colors in the sky.

Ash descending on our cars.

Burning in the back of our throats.

I am miles away and outside of the reach of the fire itself, but the smoke and ash fill my days now.

Nothing pithy to say about all this but a general recognition about how lucky we are in the region that the air quality is usually good and healthy.
