soapbox

Due to a wild fire, everyone on Kitt Peak was ordered to evacuate. That includes me. So I am now an evacuee and in a Tucson hotel, waiting for more info… At least our hotel has a pool.
Here you can read the local news story about it:
It is the only news I could find out about it… You’d think it would make the NYtimes!

I took some photos… of the huge open orange flames that would occasionally jump out of the thick, black smoke, and I got a shot of the planes spraying orange stuff and weaving in and out of the smoke, and I got a photo of the picnic area sign that says “Picnic area closed. High Fire Danger” with the fire in the background, and I got a picture of the news crew driving up the mountain. If I had my cable to download the photos, I’d sell them to the news crews. But alas, it is in NH.
