Remember last week’s thunderstorms? Well, the lightning accompanying those mostly dry storms has set off a thousand wildfires in the state. Fire season isn’t even supposed to really take off until late summer, so we may be in store for something this year. Check out the satellite pic:this time of the year, you’d only expect to see the bright white stuff near the coast, our charming California coastal fog.

Now, it feels like we’re hanging out in one giant smoky bar. Air quality not quite approaching the Great London Smog ‘52 levels but going in that direction. The Western States 100 even got cancelled. I’m still going for a ride; hanging out in a smoky bar once and a while shouldn’t kill you, should it?
