I'm on fire!

"There was a desert wind blowing that night. It was one of those hot dry Santa Anas that come down through the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch. On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands' necks. Anything can happen. You can even get a full glass of beer at a cocktail lounge." - Raymond Chandler, Red Wind


The San Diego hills are on fire.

Carlsbad esta en fuego.

Camp Pendleton is ablaze with ignited brush.

The I-5 burns near San O from an overturned big rig.

My mouth is atingle from that Louisiana hot sauce I put on my mushroom and swiss omelet.

Southern California combusts around me as the temperatures crest triple digits.  I think I'll go swim a few laps...and then, maybe, a full glass of beer (and keep an eye on my wife).
