Hey butter?

Youza. You have the DT's in a bad way. I've never seen someone with the DTs before so I don't know much about what you are going through.

I'm listening to smooth jazz through the internet radio station in Monterey, CA. It'll put you right to sleep.

Did you know if you do too much heroin your teeth and your hair will fall out? I saw that on a Frontline documentary.

You see, it could be worse.

It'll be over soon.

Hey Butter, are you stokin the fire? Are you OK? Send us some smoke signals if you can't post a message.

Be good, be safe, and don't breath too much air

carter,

Thank gawd I got my sh1t together in time to start freaking out over when the latest fire in Fillmore( 11 miles from here ) was going to leap over the mountains and eat us up.

I re-packed my " Things I'll need for the next 30 days " crates into " Things that are irreplaceable " in case of an evacuation. Turns out I need not worry ( not that THAT ever stopped me ), the blaze is supposedly contained or headed elsewhere.

Its very bizarre here. The hazy atmosphere makes us look like a scene from a cheesy nuclear war film. There is no escaping the smoke from the fires. The eyes constantly water, the nose sniffles, and the house smells like a fireplace. I quit coughing 2 days ago, I guess my lungs got used to it.

The only clean air I found thus far was at the health food store this morning. You just KNOW they have the HEPA filters blaring. Maybe I'll just hang out there.

Butter

It's great to see that you are okay.

Yeah, you see, already packin all you stuff saved you from having to pack all your stuff. Sounds like things are already going your way. And screw power-walking in the burning Cali hills, you'll have Mt. Saint Helens' lava flows to climb through in Washington. Nothing is better than the real deal.

Don't worry about that coughing. The California sensemilia bud was probably a little harsh this season and when the fumes came rolling off the hills it was like one-hitter for breakfast. No worries mon, Irie

Sleeps In Makeup, I still wanna send you a book so keep sending the smoke signals when you get a chance.

Types With Fury, selah

LOL! Maybe it's time to buy stock in Doritos.

Types With Fury:

I have a po box now, I'll send it to you for the book. As far as the contents of the falling ash, I often wondered what was landing on my car, clothing and balcony. Maybe someones baby pictures, their pet or their favorite quilt?
***********************************************************************

There are so many left homeless with only the clothes they were wearing when they were forced to evacuate, I feel both blessed and ashamed at my own good fortune. If I did have to split, you're right, at least I was already packed. I didn't lose a thing.

It rained cats and dogs yeterday, our city is cleansed. It's beautiful outside, it sparkles. Day before yesterday I was so thrilled to see clean air that I went for a walk on the beach, which turned into a jog, then a sprint. I ran as fast as I could, fueled by the pent-up tension of cabin fever and the need to purge the past months' ugliness out of my body.

Yesterday I went hiking.

Today I am limping around the house. Seems my calves did not appreciate my enthusiasm. So what. Its a beautiful day, I'm alive, I'm sober, and I can post something from my heart and not my liver.
