The RIM Fire near Yosemite is now at about 300 sq. miles. Winds have carried considerable smoke and other particulates into the lake basin. Health officials advise staying indoors, especially in South Lake. Containment is still a long way off.
Not the best situation, but at least its not threatening local homes and structures. CalFire has over 3300 men and women working the fire. Hardly enough to put up a line somewhere. Such is life in the West during the long hot summer.
Lots of road and lake events in September: marathon, bike races, paddle board races. Keep your eyes on the road at all times, thank you.
Obama and His Joint Chiefs
Seems the commentary on Syria is reaching new levels. The Pres is getting ready for something, nobody knows what at this point. Every step has drawbacks with little reward for the effort. Maybe he'll come up with something. Doubtful,though.
Bay Bridge Closed
Yep, the span that funnels thousands into SF is closed until 5am Tuesday. Until then, madness on the highways around the bay.
