We used to have a regular bird feeder. It was great to watch the birds go after it, but it caused tons of seed material to hit the ground. And then we started seeing the rats.

Wife said "bird feeder is going bye-bye". I did some research and found spicy bird seed which doesn't bother birds [they aren't affected by capsaicin] but apparently mammals hate it.

Not these rats. Must have grown up on spicy Mexican and Thai cooking here in SoCal...

So we only have the hummingbird feeders now.
Oh man, that spicy stuff is brutal. I set some out once, and then like a dumb ass rubbed my eye a little while later. Instant burn. So then I race over to the garden hose in order to flush out my eye, but it had been sitting in the sun and the water was just scalding hot. So I am just screaming and yelling and writhing around in pain, and the neighbors came out thinking that I had run over my foot with the lawnmower, or whatever. Nope. Just burning my face off like a moron.

The virus that you don't even know that you have unless you get tested? 

It is entirely possible that I have contracted it at some point.

Not gonna lie, the sky here was crazy yesterday. It really looked like that twitter video Sam posted. It was orange and dark, getting darker after 8am, then finally getting a little lighter about 5pm. It was distracting, and had a actual, visceral impact on me. My body and brain reacted to how strange it was. It was really, really weird.

Today we still have a layer of clouds that I think include ash, resulting in an oddly low temperature (like yesterday), but no orange glow, and it's lighter, like a normal overcast day. Conversely our air quality is worse.

This was my backyard yesterday at 10:30 am, as best my iPhone could capture it (the color is reasonably accurate):

Nature is pretty awesome and sometimes scary, when we stop to think about it.

The thing that really struck me was my animalistic response to it. No matter how logically I approached it (I knew why the sky looked that way and that the air quality was actually better than it has been--and it's worse today), my brain wouldn't stop telling me how crazy it was, and I felt out of sorts all day.

I have felt out of sorts most of the day but took a nap and feel more normal now, or what passes for normal.

This was the Shingrix vaccine with dead virus, I don't believe I could get the disease from the vaccine.

This is how I felt when I was watching Kenosha burn. The sky was orange/red at 2AM. I'm still out of sorts from that. Going to take a while to recover.

How are you holding up?

No, the only fire that was reasonably close to us was still on the other side of the hills from us (ocean side rather than bay side), and would have had to burn through a lot of urban area to get to us--and that one is basically contained. It impacts our air quality, but the threat of fire in our neighborhood was remote.

The orange sky was from all the ash in the higher atmosphere from all of the fires on the west coast right now, so not really specific to us in the Bay Area--it's just we were the ones who got the strange lighting from it.

I'm basically over it now, except for the lingering, "2020 is stupid" thought that is a near constant refrain in my mind.

As, all of ya have done some really stupid things at some point or another. Only difference is that I'm not afraid to tell a funny story on myself.

We get orange/red skies similar to that when the Saharan dust blows across the Atlantic and into the Gulf, usually happens once or twice per year in the summer.  Not quite THAT pronounced, but similar.  Really eerie when it happens.
