The “green” policies preventing the clearing out of underbrush is causing more air pollution than me driving my pickup or my ex-wife farting.

I wish MY life had a soundtrack! At least I’d know what was going on, or at least when to DUCK, LOL!

“Who cares? They made their disasters.”

You should care. It is mainly FEDERAL policies that have done this.

NO, it isn’t.

Streets, Rockford, Kojak, or Ironside soundtrack music would work for me.

Those I’d love to see released. I generally buy soundtracks.

Just a couple hours ago in Mountain View on the Charleston Slough looking west at the Santa Cruz Mountains. No matter how bad this is, it's nothing to what the people in the mountains are suffering.

The great annual migration on the Pacific Flyway is underway and there were thousands of ducks, egrets, pelicans, stilts, godwits, stilts, sandpipers, cormorants, and other birds on the slough today. At least it was nice seeing all the birds.

A request for all you heartless people mouthing off here. For once, try to show some compassion for people who lost everything in the fires. We have several friends in Paradise who have fortunately not lost their houses or loved ones. The stories they tell of neighbors who were unable to get out are absolutely heart breaking. Neighbors are all pitching in and helping; what are you doing to HELP? California is still full of good conservative people, especially in the foothills and mountains. I wouldn't even wish this on the most miserable liberal person I know. Try to remember what your mothers taught you -- "if you don't have anything nice to say..."

With all due respect, it looks to me like none of the comments are directed towards such people, but rather towards the politicians of the city in the headline who are reacting (and possibly overreacting) to smoke generated three hundred miles away.

Thanks for your polite perspective. It’s a valid point. But FR used to be a site of compassion but seems to have turned bitterly negative in recent years. California-bashing is particularly obnoxious.

Crap in the air and on your shoes.

During the Thomas fire in Ventura everyone was walking round with masks on. We were downtown shopping and had ash falling on us but I didn’t think it was that bad

Believe me, I get your point, but maybe all the bitterness is, in part, because some Democrats want to kill us off.

Rockford!

James Garner was my Mom’s Heartthrob! I think she’s watched every episode of, ‘The Rockford Files’ as well as, ‘Murphy’s Romance’ about a dozen times, LOL!

I’m more inclined towards a Vintage 1972 Paul Newman or a Tom Selleck of...pretty much ANY age. *Purr* ;)

Yes, that does explain a lot of it. The bitterness wasn’t there 30 or 40 years ago. How far we’ve fallen — all due to the marxocrats.

The wastes on the streets only become big factors when folks fall out from the smog and end up face-to-feces with them....

What is a little smoke if you’re breathing human feces?
