In Which I Pray To The Weather Gods.

Besides inspiring men’s deodorant scents, forest fires are evil.

Last week, they traipsed way too close to LA, and the dangerous air quality meant many kids and high school sporting events had to be postponed. Meanwhile, ironically, the sunset was breathtaking. 

After a record wet winter, it hasn’t rained here in six months, so I’m petitioning the heavens for a heavy downpour. If for nothing else, it’ll be a chance for me to show up at a cemetery standing really far away from a funeral under a black umbrella, so that people will think the person died with a dark and interesting secret.
