Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Fire bad.
I'm unreasonably angry that 45 is coming to Chicago tomorrow. He's gonna fuck up traffic and I need to do a rental pickup during the day.
I'm also trying to decide if I want to go to a concert tomorrow (Poi Dog Pondering and Thievery Corporation) after an 8am start to the work day and about 5 hours to kill in between.
I have electric power down here in the flatlands of Hayward. Also we have a choking pall of smoke that reached us at about 3:30 pm, so all the windows are closed. I can't believe how thick and stinky the air is right now. Thankfully the temperature has dropped. I hate to think how awful it would be in here if it were 80.
The wind event knocked down a lot of my trees in pots and eventually I figured out safer places to stash them awhile. This is not a terrible problem when thousands of people are evacuating and the county shelters are beyond capacity.
My stepmom lost power and it is really too bad Dad's not here to see her through. I still catch myself thinking about how I need to talk to him.

The AMA office is across the street from Trump tower, and they're pissed that he's having a fundraiser there this week. The freelance manager said they might just close the office that day. (And the AMA never, ever closes — when the Cubs won the World Series, it was a big fucking deal that the AMA gave everyone 1 free hour at lunch to go to the parade/rally/whatever it was. So closing the office entirely is shocking. But sensible.)
My power just came on, woohoo!
Our canyon is on the list for possible power shutdown overnight, the winds have started blowing. Thankfully even if it does happen, we can run pretty much completely off grid now.

Yeah, and he's talking to a convention of police chiefs at McCormick place before that. So everything between them is hosed.
Back to the time of year where just about every weekend our traffic, land and sea will be disrupted by the orange one. Grumble.
Fire bad. Sending cool moist vibes to CA.
Happy birthday, aurelia! Yes, FB gave me that reminder, and also told me that I have been there for 11 years today. Hrmph, I still have a hate/love relationship there.
DH is off to buy trailer tires then we head again to Florida. It's always something. He was pleased that he found the tires both at Lowe's and from a local trailer guy so he didn't have to go big chain.
Meanwhile, although the hotel has a very nice room it has no breakfast and I am hungry now.
Happy Birthday Aurelia! Laura, I am sorry you are hungry and are having a hard time getting home. You and DH are such good partners so you are getting through it together.
I have to admit I am finally getting a little winded. I think today I will irk on sorting my bins, which are right now just bins of "save". I can put away stuff in the bathroom and kitchen and then sort into sewing room and bedroom for the rest.
First, I just have a little to do in the kitchen to be Done, though.
Washing ceilings was tough
Happy birthday, aurelia!

My old office was around the corner from the AMA. I gave the tower some elaborate fuck off gestures, or at the very least a stink eye, whenever I walked by it.
I smelled smoke as soon as I walked out the front door of my apartment this morning.
