| Moonrise over Mt. Baker, 3 nights ago., now you can't even see the mountain. |
The Pacific Northwest is on fire. Yikes! The Olympic Peninsula is burning—Paradise on Mt. Rainier is burning. The Hoh River Valley rainforest—one of the wettest place on earth, is burning. I'm crying useless tears for the venerable trees of antiquity burning. Much of Western Canada is burning. The Vancouver sky is a dirty vanilla color with all the smoke. You can no longer see the mountains—not even Mt. Baker. In California, Humboldt and Trinity, as well as Lake County are being evacuated. It hurts to breathe. Is Yolo County still on fire? What about Sierra Foothills? We need a list of places burning. There's no one central site. Wondering how we're going to get home if Interstate 5 is closed. Everything is burning. SoCal, San Marcos/San Diego. Where else? Happy Lúgnasadh, some bonfire, the West Coast is burning—the gods must be really happy.
