Over the weekend, there was a ‘dry’ thunderstorm that moved through the area (Northern California). Lots of dry lightening strikes, no rain.

The result was over 400 lightening-caused fires in the mountains north and east of here. Along with a few more grass fires and some more fires in the coastal area.

And the result of that is a bit of smoke in the air. Although we are getting a small breeze (our ‘air conditioning that cools off the nights), the temps here were about 100 on Friday/Saturday, cooling a bit to the mid/upper 90’s today. Not enough breeze to dissipate the smoke, though.

Hence the title.

Still working on the weight. This morning: 265.
