So, since we are surrounded by forests, foothills and all that good stuff, fires burning all over the state. Today happens to be a little clearer, but it's been pretty nasty. There are times where living in a valley sucks. All of the smoke from around the state just gets stuck here.

For reference, here's what it *should* look like:



And here's what it looks like right now:

  1. Your mountains look like the Sierras did a few days ago...no recent local fires but a big one down in the Santa Barbara region which, believe it or not, the smoke made it's way up to Reno!

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury; and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable; and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasion, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony. William Henry Channing
