california fires

This morning we woke up too a layer of ash in the house because of the wildfires buring in southern california. The ash crept in through the open windows, outside the cars and streets had a think layer. The sky is brown and there is no visability. We are only a few blocks from the beach and I couldn't even see the water this morning. The winds are the highest I have seen since I have been here. It definatly made for a misserable ride into the office today.
