No smoke in Seattle as yet,
No smoke in Seattle as yet, and hope it stays that way. After the bizarre 107 degree day we hit in June, things have calmed back down here. This week, the weather will be what we all love about Summer here, highs in the upper 70s with overnight lows in the mid 50s with a morning marine layer and sunny clear skies by noontime. The smoke season, which has only become a thing in the last 5 years, has usually arrived in early August. Fingers crossed it doesn't happen this year. I'm thinking about wearing a mask again, but at this point, not for smoke.

Thankfully for this town, the smoke right now is blowing east.
The smoke and destruction from the fires in September was apocalyptic and has left us with a sort of collective PTSD when it comes to wildfires.

All of earths water is fucked
All of earths water is fucked up. Tropical Opah fish washed up on a beach in Oregon recently,, but you still can't convince a repub there's climate change going on now. The variant taking em out may be our only Saving Grace (great Steve Miller song)

There's a large "hot spot" in the Ocean a thousand(s) miles off the Oregon coast, not suppose to be there, don't think i've ever seen one like this out there before. (Need a bunch of strong winter storms to punch it back to normal, but we haven't had that kind of zonal flow out there for a long time)
Meanwhile... (with now dated numbers)

I read in today's newspaper
I read in today's newspaper that as of yesterday, the "Bootleg Fire" in southern Oregon had consumed 476 square miles, bigger than Los Angeles, 1/3 the size of Rhode Island, and other comparisons will be made. It's a huge fucking fire. The article was pointing out how vast the U.S. West is and that so much of it is wild. The fire won't be extinguished until months from now.

It's from Fukushima, that's what a lot of people are saying.

Temperature anomaly from Fukushima not possible. A radiation "hot spot" from there is possible, however, although not likely.

I just postponed a road trip
I just postponed a road trip down to SF and other Norcal locations to visit friends next week. Was going to return over the Sierras and through Reno and the east side of the mountains on the way back- up to Klamath and quick stop at Crater Lake. A huge fire north west of Reno and the BOOTLEG has kiboshed plans for now.
