We Are Still Not On Fire For Now, But Hang On For two More Days.



This map shows where the fire is heading, squarely onto BlaBlaBlawBlawg corporate headquarters. It has already crossed into Mexico and the winds with near-hurricane gusts are of the Santa Ana variety, blowing non-stop until possibly Wednesday. For those of you who would like nothing better than to see our blog reduced to cinder, let me remind you that the actual blog archives physically reside in Mountain View CA, well north of here, at Google's western headquarters, in an underground concrete bunker equipped with 60,000 first-class Cisco servers. If our terminal in Mexico burns down, we will evacuate and courageously resume our blog in some seedy Internet café, trying to conceal our ashen smell with a can of Glade and sipping cold coffee in soot covered paper cups handed out by the Red Cross, called more poetically 'La Cruz Roja' in Mexico. There!

Now for the real purpose of this blog message: In the Bill Gates animation below, if you see numerals coming out of BG's mouth and drifting to the right, you are a progressive forward-looking right brain dominant person like most of us and our readers. If you see the numbers ENTERING Gates mouth by drifting left, you are a regressive anal-retentive left-brainer, and worse, probably a Republican. Chances are you are the one wishing for a fiery end to our blog. This sneaky test of your dominant brain was planted there to unmask bad people like you!

I helped combat forest fires in Colorado during the Hayman inferno but the experience doesn't mean the fire will listen. The best way to stop drift is to clear the deadwood and pray the winds are merciful.

Need another edit? A delete? The shovels are ready. Water has been arranged but you will have to talk with FEMA about the arrival date.

Ok Smokey got a date with coffee, and I'm invited to join. Good luck, J.

I was wondering about your perfect weather world . . . don't smoke! Another advice, pratice breathing through a wet rag while running to the beach. Here in Montreal, people are walking around in sandals and shorts. Yesterday the Mont-Royal was covered with cars looking for a parking space, motors idling galore and tempers flaring - are people too numb to do their small share to help the planet turning to brown?

Thanks for the up-tip Lulu. I'm prepping a Montreal video for November IF all goes well. LOVELY LOVELY CITY!!!!

Back to Gates. Let him eat his words. The whole thing is fiction.

Un-browned!

just saw the evening news; my gaad, it is scary. Has Carlsbad been touched, Encinitas? I hold southern Ca. very dear to my heart.
We are having a heat wave in the Adirondack 75, 80 f. For the last few days, zillions of ladybugs with their acrid smell are invading our houses . Still very dry but rain coming.
