This fire has burned about 30+ square miles now. It's hard to believe,
isn't it?
The air quality is wierd. We have foggy stuff along the coast, but the
smoke is also there, so it just lays over you. Burning throat and
headaches.

We headed out to the pass and down the hill this morning and saw on the west
side of the valley a lot of smoke hanging in the air from the fire over your
way. Lots of it. Really like a bad smoggy day. I was down in OC all day
and out of it. Maybe that is why my eyes have been so bad. I;m sorry it is
so bad there. I can't remember if you have AC or not.
That helps a bit.

This morning's news tells me the fire is 56+ square miles big. Just
cannot even wrap my mind around something that size!
No, no A/C here at home, basically wouldn't use it if I had it.
We notice in the buildings at work they have the courtrooms ventilated
pretty good, but the hallways and other offices leave a lot to be
desired.

I was headed to dad's for the day in Mission Viejo and we did have/make time
to swing by M&L because I needed some fabric for a backing. $1.69
fabrics are now $1.99. I got out of there less $57 and a almost everything
on my list. I can do a better
hit on the place when I don't take DH along but he is
a great sport!
Dad and a visit to M&L is a pretty great day!
