zallia | The Inferno

Well, it seems our whole damned state is going to burn to the ground. Don't know if you out-of-staters have seen much in your news, but I've heard we have 44 different fires on the ground right now. The most pressing is the giant one near Los Alamos that's set to surpass our previous largest fire and oh yeah, might take out some plutonium-enriched trash while it's at it. Thankfully, I'm downwind of that crap, since they've been testing weapons and dumping crap out there that they won't even tell you about, so god-only-knows what's actually in the fumes already. I'm hoping that it rains before something starts out here since we've already had a lightning storm w/out actual moisture, but I'm mentally going over evacuations just in case. :(

And I was planning to go to Socorro this weekend, but one started directly in between our two cities. Started on poor old Sam Donaldson's ranch. That's where that boy killed his whole family that were taking care of the property. And despite most everywhere else banning fireworks for painfully obvious reasons, our stupid city is allowing them to proceed. So now I'm also worried about leaving my house to become a smoking rubble thanks to stupid neighbors. *sigh*

Anyhow, I took some pics of our progressing hellscape.
