Summer in the City

OK. I've promised myself that I wouldn't bitch about the heat this year, especially because right up until yesterday summer has been very merciful. Marine layer "June Gloom" right through August. It is now HOT and will be until Halloween. But I am really not going to bitch about it because I am NOT one of the firefighters that are in the middle of THIS! These are shots I just took from my neighborhood. I have never seen it like this. I'll just put the first shot here then add more in the Comments section. THESE ARE NOT CLOUDS. Yikes.

Comment by Deb S on August 30, 2009 at 9:21am: Ruh Roh, I haven't even heard the news yet today. Better check.

Comment by Mel on August 30, 2009 at 8:17am: The news this morning is not good, except that more firefighters and cooler weather might bring relief. A little worried about your corner of the world....
