Friends,
There’s a forest fire burning not too far away from our secret alpine laboratory right now. While some people during this election year will suggest that private enterprise is our salvation, I’m relying on government action to keep my house from burning to the ground. You can smell the smoke (like some delightful artisanal barbecue smoking something over mesquite and manzanita) and I think we’ve had a little ash fall this evening. I’m gathering up household things and will leave the mountain in a little while, but here are some fun links to keep you busy:
- This is a live feed of the radio traffic between fire crews.
- And this is the incident description on the web.
- Also, you might like to know what the Riverside Press-Enterprise thinks of the whole thing.
So, um, goodnight everybody!
