24. Sky is pink in the west
I'm in the desert in San Bernardino county. It looks like we are having sunrise and sunset at the same time, a very weird effect. I think it's just the sunrise reflecting off the particles in the air from the fires to the west.

These developments are designed so badly, it's almost as if they are designed to make any fire as bad as possible. They want to limit street trafic so they have few roads going out of these developments. The houses are so close together and built like cardboard boxes. They are built in areas with frequent wildfires. It's bad planning, plain and simple. And lets not forget greed, I'm sure some company made millions putting these houses in where they should never be.

I think the idiot governer should don some fire fighting clothes and get out there. This is about the only way I could think of that he could do some good for our state, he is a big strong guy and should be real good at dragging hoses up hills and stuff like that.
