At Least until It's Out

If I put my head deliberately into the fire, there is no appeal to fire or to the maker of fire, and I have only myself to blame. - Thoreau

tough to see through the plumes

hard to hear through the crackles

time to drop and roll

Author's Note

Darkening the light and blotting out the sun; Go thou my incense upward from this hearth, And ask the gods to pardon this clear flame. - from a poem by Thoreau

In such a situation, it's definitely more appropriate than rock n roll.

that must be what they mean by, "burnin' down the house" ... :)

2020 was 4 times worse than any other fire season but 2021 was pretty calm in my part of the state. The northern Sierras had a million-acre fire, but still, overall the state fared pretty well. Ya gotta wonder if it's becuz of all the transmission line improvements PG&E brags about in constant mailers & junk phone calls, evidently explaining why my bill is 50% higher now *wink! wink!*
