  The light outside is surreal. I have my windows shut to keep out the loud stench of a burning county.
Watching falling ashes like the first snow of the season. I just walked outside for a minute to capture the images with the camera. The most stunning feature of this morning is the absolute silence. No one is out. Not a creature stirring. At least not where Im at. Looks like a day for laying low and watching movies. No stores open.
Nothing I really want to do outside of watching the tube for updates, but I know that can create a burnout feeling after a while. Im doing my part by not taking a shower again today. Saving water so long as I dont see anyone today. Three full days of gathering a stink isnt sociable. Skipping the vacuuming, the dishes, the laundry. What else can I do? Paint my nails and sit still.
