You guys are way too on topic for this thread.
Just to keep us on-topic-off-topic, here are a couple pics from my “once in a lifetime” forest fire experience.
The first one is the main street in my small town during the worst of the fires. Before we evacuated something like 10% of the people in my town were firefighters sleeping in the hotels or shopping and eating on their off shifts.
I took the pic below yesterday at 3:00 pm (sunset is 7:30). Smoke and fire related air nastiness has covered the whole SF Bay Area. The news is calling it a “nuclear winter,” but I haven’t seen any zombies yet so I think we’re ok.

Oh man, that is zombie-apocalypse stuff.
Glad you made it through intact.

Seeing a sky like that during the day is bad enough, I can remember seeing a sky like that at midnight due to a forest / grass fire in Oklahoma. It got within a couple of miles of our house before it was extinguished.

Our skies were a little discolored the last couple of days down here in Los Angeles, but no where near as bad.
I hope you and your family are well.

Here are some pics of our local volunteer residents fighting the Creek Fire in CA… We are 12 miles from the perimeter and I live 40 feet from the edge of the evacuation warning area… AQI was atrocious this morning and peaked at over 600.

You’re in my area! I woke up yesterday literally in a panic. Today’s a notch better I suppose. Stay safe!

In a surprise twist, one of the teams won. The other lost.
On one play, a running back ran with the ball.
Andy Reed was wearing a mask.

His mask was the comedic relief. By the end of the game it looked like he was coaching from inside a greenhouse.

Actually, I thought the lower half of his mask was fogged to keep his lips from being read.

Is that a strong neck or a stiff neck?
