Hey Richard - I have an old friend that lives out there - between Glendale and Beverly Hills. Are there any fires in that region? She's never had any in that area before, but it looks like it's burning where it usually doesn't this time around.![]()

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1The clock of life is wound but once and no man has the power
To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

BH and Glendale are a few miles apart. There is Griffith Park in between and that has some greenery in it , but nothing 'locally' is burning. The smell of cmoke has disappeared but blows in occasionally.
It's brutally hot and I don't know how those fire fighter can cope.![]()
Bless all those firefighters. They are very special people.
Richard, are you okay? Stay safe. From what we're seeing, it looks terrible there.![]()
I've been Boo'd...
Thanks Barry!
Firefighters in CA and in BC this year - and others coming from even other countries to help both places - these men and women are a rare breed. I can think of NO job more uncomfortable, dangerous and completely exhausting, unless it is in warfare. The two are not unalike.
Bless those two men...and many many prayers for all the others that risk their lives to save others.

I am no where near the fires. I can smell the smoke and see it from my house-it's the people who live in the hills that are suffering.
I sat in the back yard an took this pics-the first 4 were taken within about 10 minutes.
A giant white cloud will appear from inside the smoke cloud, then collapse just as quickly. It's the water vapor from the fire, the particles from the smoke are too heavy to go any higher, so the water keeps going up then collapses in a matter of minutes.
The last pic is of the Erikson Sky Crane. This thing comes over the house on it's way to be gassed and have a pilot change- this chopper ROCKS IT TO THE FOUNDATION.
RICHARD and all other PTers in Southern Calif.-- big BIG prayers for you!
Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.
I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!
Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

WOW
Today it's overcast and cooler. I haven't heard the helicopters fly by this morning.....
God sent us a monsoon weather pattern, 3600 firefighters and some slight rain!
RIght up the street they have set up the base for all the FFS.
It's like a little city with all the amenities!

Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
Together we stand
Divided we fall.
I laugh, therefore? I am.

The sunsets take on new colors because of the smoke.![]()
