I can't even imagine how awful it is over there! We're in Palm Desert, and the smoke got to us yesterday; it was totally "overcast" but not too much smell til last night....then, wow! The smell of smoke was like a Mack truck hit us! (for anyone not familiar with the area, we're like 120-130 miles away from LA/San Diego). It's not just the smoke; it's all that junk that burned (draperies, furniture, tires, and heaven only knows what) that's in the air right now that's the real danger to humans and animals. Today it's very smoky here again. My heart goes out to everyone over there; such a loss of homes and some of the most beautiful natural resources in the world. I am on my way over to San Diego to volunteer for the Red Cross; hopefully, they'll have masks for us! I'm so glad that you and yours are safe and your home is intact! I think everyone who lives down here knows someone who has been affected by these horrible fires. Stay well.....
