Locals are greeted by a summery, smoky Wednesday, w/ high temps &
Kimuras, sobriety, & (early) morning prayer
Local alarm went off at a cool 4:25am, as the first hints
Wingin’ it
Local man woke to his 4:20am alarm, getting out of bed to
Indoor breakfast, lawn-mowing, work
A hazy morning greeted the valley, w/ local man waking up before
Prayer, software development, UFC, tacos
Early morning alarms were missed, waking up awhile later & getting started
Rain, smoke, Islam, & ChatGPT
The morning brought continued haze, as winds & dryness draw wildfire season
Enjoyable & productive
Locals wake to summery smoke, w/ another day of warm temps &
Smoke returns, Mac mini arrives, eclipse & meteor shower
The day brought occulted mountains, buried behind wildfire haze apparently following beauty.
Takedowns & reversals
Locals wake to particularly clear skies, bringing extra pep to people around
