SoCal Makeshift Mask

[Bill Sornson]

My "E-3" saddle came in a thin, paper-cloth bag. So I cut holes in the
corners and tied an elastic cord to each one. Voila: a mask to keep the
smoke and grit out of my lungs. (I soak it in cold water every half hour or
so.)

No, but the air where I am is horrible.

A few of the guys on our local list (Yahoo! group) were evacuated; let back
home today or tomorrow.

Today sucked because it was so hot, but couldn't open any windows. Gimme
some ocean breeze!

The air is pretty bad here in the South Bay... sure wouldn't want to be
any further South, or North, or East for that matter

Way too much information asked for there, buddy!

Oh, you meant THAT type of evacuation?

Soaking it so it won't burn?

Sorry. I shouldn't attempt humor before coffee.

Life is so boring here. No floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, landslides
or forest fires to speak of.

Not true. The Santa Ana winds are hot and dry, and generally blow east to
west which keeps the smoke trapped over land (bumped up against the marine
layer). Ocean breezes are cool and moist. We need the latter to counteract
the effects of the former.

May as well throw up the pictures taken from my brother's place ... a
few miles from San Diego's famous Wild Animal Park:

Their house, so they say, is relatively intact. They put a lot of
effort into maintaining a "defensible perimeter."

It IS wild living out here ... awfully pretty, though ;-)
