Are we sure that picture isn't simply all the pot smoke coming from the medical marijuana clinics?

Seriously, though, I hope you guys don't have to deal with this much longer.
I had a Bill Maher quote here. But fuck him for his white privelegy "joke".

All the rest? Too long.

My girlfriend's grandmother lives only a half our from Calavaris Big Trees - I really hope her house is going to be okay (and her, too). The smoke seems to have lightened up a bit, though the sky here in Contra Costa County is still completely gray/white, and I can physically smell the smoke.

I can see blue in Sac city (Sacramento for the ignorant...). It is glorious...

Anyways, Sac-Bee had a nice chart on its front page, but I don't have a digital camera...

The funny thing is that the pollution is the worst in the foot hills as the wind from the Bay Area funnels through the Carquinez strait and pushes the pollution up to the foothills.

So yeah...
