Well i live in San Diego and in case you dont recognize the date, today there was one of the worst firestorms in history. My house is intact and far from the fires and i dont really know anyone who has been made homeless today. Imagine waking up one day, thinking it was just going to be another quiet sunday, boring and slow like every other. But then all of sudden you take a look at the smoke filled sky and catch a breath of the smoke polluted air and realize something about today is not right and in fact is terribly wrong. There is no waking up, cuz despite the irrationality of it, its not a nightmare but a firestorm flashing images from television of the war in Iraq. Me however, am relatively close to the fire, maybe 5miles away. I woke up without any thoughts. I went out of my room and looked out the living room and saw the sky. The sun was not the right color and despite it being 10Am it seemed like dusk. So naturally i whipped out my handy dandy digital camera and proceeded to snap some shots of the sky, which was a golden orange color, and the sun which shined through a rich red.

Seeing the red sun made me think, " Its like God is angry at us." and it really seems like it. It was like God was angry at us and he allowed Hells flames to engulf the surrounding land. Thinking about it, it really seems like it was planned. An engineered catastrophe. For the past couple of weeks theres been a heat wave, which has probably dried out a lot of brush and trees. In addition a lot of our fire fighting equipment was sent up north to combat brush fires in San Bernardino and Rancho Cucamonga. So in a sense we were rather helpless, at the mercy of the wind, which was up to speeds of 60MPH. Well tomorrow im going to volunteer at the high school. And so obviously there is no school tomorrow. Which btw is pretty much the only time i can remember scheduled school shutting down. Quite a historic day. When im an old man i can say, " Oh yah, i remember that great firestorm of '03. I was there"
