The air is considered unhealthy maybe even hazardous so we are under direction to stay indoors. No errand running or shopping etc. Darn it, I love to run errands and shop why do they have to make me stay home. Please don't throw me in the briar patch.
So, I am just staying home and working on finding that AWOL passport and I hear this thunderous noise overhead. I ran to the window because I thought it was one of those tankers going to drop water on us or something. It was a fleet of helipcopters coperting right over our house (what do helicopters do anyway fly? chop?) Braden would have loved it. It turned out to be the air escorts to Marine One the helicopter Pres. Bush was touring the area with. Kind of cool. Of course we would rather there wasn't a need for him to tour but we are being compared to Katrina.
Over 400,000 acreas burned, over 1,600 homes destroyed and the Witch fire is only 10-15% contained. There is still fire on Del Dios it is about 10 miles away and the winds have died down a lot.
Although our problem is small compared to others we do still have the problem of clean up. Everything is covered in Ash. The plants, the house, the lawn furniture, sidewalks, driveway etc. The news reports are the ash is toxic and we should not clean it up with a leave blower, or a broom or a vacuum. Has Ronco made a new gadget I am unaware of maybe a Chris Angel Ash Cleaner? I am not sure yet how we will clean it but maybe I will let Tom worry about that. I will make him a deal, I will clean the inside and you clean the outside.
