When the real world is more apocalyptic than your worst imaginings…

iOSTRAKON

It was surreal / and I was really high so that didn’t help

Was there any actual sound from the conflagration? I keep thinking you literally jumped from the frying pan into the fire. I hope this will be over soon and you will be unscathed… at least physically.

iOSTRAKON

Thank you // sound for the video was peaceful. Birds chirping and of course wind blowing. Very deceiving sonically.

I was toying with motorcycle camping 🏕 in NM this Summer. But, it looks like the fires 🔥 are still raging all over the state?!

Holy shit mate. Will you be okay?

LinearLineman

Sorry to see this unending calamity. The sky seems clear near you. How is the breathing?

iOSTRAKON

So sorry for the delay. The air quality was horrible during the past month or so.

Good news though - it’s been raining very consistently over the past week. I believe we’re in the clear.

Thanks to all of you for the well wishes. Means a lot to me.

Poor @NeuM can’t see the forest for the trees, why because they’ve either been chopped or burned down.

What are you going on about, troll? Gladly blocking you now.

The number of these megafires does not track with changes in population size.

Thank you Neum for pointing us to an article that leads off by pointing out that these fires have been made more frequent and dangerous by climate change.

Yes, the climate changes every day. It's terrible. If only there was no weather... And maybe if we throw enough tax money at it we can stop the Earth from turning. This whole Day versus Night problem might finally end.

I think this is what's known in the philosophy trade as a category error!

You are conflating weather (day-to-day variations) with climate (long term patterns and trends).

I'm sure you know this all too well @NeuM so we can only speculate as to what your motive might be🤔

All the best to you and your family @iOSTRAKON - seeing what's happening where you live really brings it home that this is happening now and needs to be addressed urgently.
