OT: The sun is orange

this morning as I look east from Vancouver Island into the B.C. interior...Godspeed to the firefighters battling those blazes.

I hope they're not too bad. My uncle was a fire fighter and my cousin is one now. Hope none of them get hurt fighting the fires

Yep, It's that time of the year again. Those firefighters have one tough job. My hat's off to them all.

I'm suffering from muscle athropy in my shoulders and upper arms, from being out of work for so long. It can be reversed, I just hope it doesn't affect me too bad as I'm hoping to find a new job in the next couple of weeks. I can't even sleep on my sides. Man it sucks gettin old.

Fires are always a threat, here's hoping that they are able to get them under control quickly and with no more casualties and little property damage.


/Interesting tidbit, the sun's true color (when viewed from space and not through the atmosphere) is white.

That's sad. I would think with all the braniacs in the world we have that is mostly water they could find a better way to fight them. There must be a better way.

Damn, that is horrible. My old man is a retired firefighter, and he lost countless hours away from home. Such a tough life, and could never be celebrated enough in my book.

I was in the Okanagan ... as the kids say "smells like burning" ... very eerie haze on the lake
