Today's walk report: 111118

California is on fire (again).

 

There was virtually no walking. Walking around was a bad idea. However, we did see people, jogging, bicycling and walking. A few were wearing respirator masks (still crazy) but most were not (really whacko).

This is the Woolsey Fire. There appeared to have been two small flare-ups that just started as we pulled into a parking lot. In less than 200 yards and the time it took to park the car, there were three spots and a lot more smoke. I don't ever recall flames coming so close into the Valley. This fire and others throughout California this week have been a real tragedy. To top things off idiot #45 had to say some really wrong shit about a horrible situation.

As the crow flies we were just a little over 5 miles away from the flames here. This was the first shot I took. There are three flare-ups in the image.


This is the same shot zoomed in.


This is a five image panorama taken 7 minutes later.


I believe this is a Grumman (Conair) CS2F Turbo Firecat.


Later... Grumpy Bird is feeling pretty grumpy. Besides all of the tragedy and heartache for so many humans, think of the terror for the animals. In all probability this was all about some human fucking up.
