The sky had the orange haze of sunset all day. The smell of smoke continues to fill the air and penetrate my apartment walls. A lot of people lost their homes today.

I had planned to walk to the park, but was advised by an area meteorologist not to. She was concerned about the air quality.

It's been a while since I've been to the park. In fact, I believe the last time I made it up there was just before the park officially reopened following its own fire.

Rain would be nice.

Disaster Strikes!!!

I'm not very good at smiling, particularly when it comes to smiling for photographs. It's not that I'm incapable of smiling properly, it's just that I can't do so without constant rehearsal. It's something I have to be dilligent about, which means being careful not to pass any mirror or reflective surface without taking the opportunity to improve. I have to do this. Because if I don't, and someone asks to have their photo taken with me, chances are things won't turn out well. Things will be disasterous....
