Smoke clears from California’s Park Fire
July 31, 2024, Wednesday—Smoke clears from California’s Park Fire. That’s the big news here today. And the good news. The air quality was running 60-80 on the AQI scale today (source: Purple Air sensors, of which there are many in Redding). Which is not too bad. Good enough for painting anyway. So I spent five […]

Look Up It’s Beautiful
July 15, 2024, Monday — Look up, it’s beautiful. Words to live by, words to type by, or blog by, or fly by, or die by, I suppose. I have no idea what I’m going to blog about tonight, and I’ve been pretty down. Which is really a drag on my system. Depression warning!! So […]
