Officials warn of poor Central Valley air due to wildfires

 

[Maxtor]

News says we have 130 fires in Shasta County. Sure is smoky outside.

Crappy Air.. I'm carrying a Blow Rag 'round with me. The Sun has a wierd shine to it. The Air Stinks.

Oh Well.. Folks in the Mid-West flooding have alot more to deal with right now than Bad Air.

 

[hheynow]

Smoke chart as of now. Geez Lloyd you've got it worst than me. I'm heading to the coast today 'cause it really stinks worse than yesterday.

 

[Maxtor]

Yes, each day seems a little worse. To many fires and not enough firemen.

Heard that Arni wants to institute a flat tax of $10-15 per household statewide per year to boost the state's fire fighting budget. I'm all for it.

Yep, Okay by me. Fire Fighting assets get to thin, to quick. Not just California.. the whole Western Region.

Heard there are some Fire Fighters here from Oregon, Idaho and Montana already.

I still think they could take a Harder look at the Inmate pool though.
