My bad, I just checked and the AQI is actually between 600 and 700 right now. There must come a point where you can no longer turn people away from shelters that are at capacity the same way you can't lock a freezing person out in a blizzard. Edit: I'm in Chico, if anyone was wondering. Tacier fucked around with this message at 08:35 on Nov 10, 2018 |

I had plans for the weekend, but I canceled everything and hid inside. My job forced me to spend way too much time outside during last year's inferno, and even with a mask, I felt miserable by the end it.

I'm a good fifty miles away from any of the fires (I can still smell 'em pretty good) but I'm glad I changed the air filters at my place before the fire, and I'm glad I have spares.

This fire poo poo is gonna be the jacket cover for future documentaries about the millennial generation. Entire cities being wiped off the map, their ashes choking other cities, and we can’t even get rid of Confederate flag defending anachronism Diane Feinstein. gently caress.

County Board of Supervisors is still all Republican unless the vote counting can flip that contest. Almost all of the city councils are heavily republican, particularly in toll road country, and right now it’s looking like Disney shill Harry Sidhu is going to be Anaheim mayor.

One of them ran shop customizing and repairing cars, so they're out a home and a job. They're all currently staying with another relative whose house burned down last year, he just got the go-ahead to move into the rebuilt house three days ago.

I'm looking at yesterday's preliminary results from Contra Costa County, and it looks like we may have finally unseated my perennial Republican state assembly member, Catherine Baker. She's relatively moderate and usually gets a ton of bi-partisan support, including endorsements from all the local papers. But right now she is down by a little under 500 votes. Hopefully her opponents' lead holds!

If sizable towns start getting torched every year, maybe something will finally happen to deal with this problem. Sure, we can't stop climate change, but I expect many of the millionaires living in Malibu will be much more interesting in helping get PG&E off their rear end.

Pg&e has come out to my apartment neiguborhood and cut trees on one side of the road and left the other side of the road laden with powerlines gracefully runnung through lines of trees. Or cuts 1 or 2 and leaves. But what happens when pge crumbles?i mean the lawsuits are gonna keep piling in. Paradise customers will sue once the dust begins to settle
