Re: Smoke/observatory

Here's a picture of the observatory and the fire that I just plucked off the front page of the NYTimes. Great picture, methinks.

I was reading about the Georgia fire on CNN this morning.
Last night we were watching TV and they interrupted the show to go live
at the big fire in Griffith Park in Los Angeles. You never know how bad
it really is when watching the news, they are so breathless about every
event. But I guess no houses are in danger at the moment and the
Observatory and the zoo animals are safe for now. We can't see smoke
from it either.

You are probably right, Cyndi. Just after I sent that message, the
weather channel showed the drift of that smoke from Georgia-North
Florida. It crosses the state and snakes down the west coast all the way 
to Key West. That's gotta be 400 miles.

I hope it is farther away than you think. We have seen smoke here,
completely blanketing the place like fog, from over 150 miles away - a



trick of the wind. Maybe that's what this will turn out to be.

We seem to be having a smoke... storm? in?... like the whole state's
burning. Big clouds of smoke moved in about noon. The background has
turned yellowish and the foreground is hazy gray. Can't believe the
wind is bringing this stuff from the northern part of the state and
Georgia--that's 250 miles or so. Must be of closer origin.
