Burn Burn Burn
In the North, we have Winter, with blizzards and cold and stuff. In the South, we've got thunderstorms, tornadoes and hurricanes. In Cleveland, we've got a river that catches on fire.
And, in Southern California, we have fire season. Google's got a pretty good map of all the brush fires that have been raging throughout the region.
In total, twenty separate brush fires with a fear that Rice and Poomacha might join together explosively in Del Dios Canyon (The Canyon of God, wheee!). When I was at Disneyland on Sunday, we were getting hit pretty hard by the Santa Ana winds (blowing from the hot desert out to sea) and getting ashed on all day. Hearing only about the Canyon Fire (Malibu) on the news, I wasn't aware that there was the Santiago Fire (Irvine), too. The latter was the one dropping ash all over Anaheim.
Ash doesn't taste too good when screaming your way through California Screamin, by the way. Dries your mouth out something fierce. Had a great time, though, meeting up with Teresa and her family. Got to play with her kids and the neighbours kids and introduced them to a coaster with a loop. Don't you miss the days when just going on a loop was the highlight of your day? I do.
I miss the days when sitting in a box was fun, too.
