ReturnOfTheLivingDougWhat a terrible night.
A thick layer of forest fire smoke moved in overnight, trapping the day's heat.
No wind, no cooling.
Too hot in the apartment to sleep.
It's the middle of effin' September.

MediaFaro AnalysisSpain is having its largest wildfire year in well over a decade.
The Global Wildfire Information System (GWIS) has published weekly data on the area burned by wildfires since 2012.
At the beginning of August, Spain was on track for a relatively low year. Its running total for 2025 was below the average and far below former records.
But just two weeks later, it had overtaken all of these previous years.

Stop ICE From Arresting Firefighters Battling Wildfires
As wildfires fueled by climate change rage across our communities, the Trump Administration’s ICE agents are arresting the very firefighters risking their lives to protect us. These reckless actions make us all less safe, leaving families and homes vulnerable when we need every hand battling the flames. Sign the petition to tell Donald Trump to immediately cease the arrest of firefighters and fire crews engaged in wildfire suppression. At least two firefighters working to contain the Bear Gulch wildfire were arrested by ICE—despite doing essential, life‑saving work to protect communities. This reckless action strikes at the heart of public safety. As climate change worsens because of Donald Trump’s policies, wildfires are becoming hotter, more widespread, and more frequent. These firefighters are our first — and sometimes only —line of defense. By allowing ICE to arrest those combating these infernos, Donald Trump not only betrays their sacrifice, but he is also allowing ICE to undermine our collective safety. Arresting first responders on the frontlines of climate‑exacerbated disasters is immoral, counterproductive, and dangerously short‑sighted. It creates fear among vital climate‑resilient workforces and communicates a chilling message: communities in crisis will not be protected by federal agencies, but penalized. Remaining silent while ICE attacks the very people fighting the impacts of climate change is not an option we can afford. Tell the White House that you demand: 1: A public directive that ICE, DHS, and Border Patrol operations must not interfere with wildfire response efforts, except in truly extraordinary and narrowly defined public safety situations. 2: Full accountability and review into the policy failure that permitted agents to target fire crews mid‑crisis. 3: Commitment to invest in climate‑safe wildfire response, not punitive enforcement, as our planet faces increasingly frequent and severe blazes. Wildfires are not immigration violations. Firefighters are not criminals; they are human and in many cases, they’re climate heroes. Please sign the petition to tell the Trump Administration to stop the distractions and address climate chaos that is killing the planet. _______ Sources https://apnews.com/article/immigration-wildfire-firefighters-8f7e2a55e61a824bfb88fefaf9bdb3fc https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/us/border-patrol-bear-gulch-fire.html

PHD FARMThe smoke is nasty and there are a lot of fires around so it looks like it's here to stay for a while.
We will stay open no matter how much smoke it is. So grab a p95 mask and come shopping. I have a lot of produce and I need to harvest more but I don't have any place to put it

#ForestFires are on the rise globally. An increase in severe #fireweather is largely responsible.
“Climate change is loading the dice for extreme #fireseasons like we’ve seen,” said John Abatzoglou, a #climate #scientist at U of Cal Merced. “There are going to be more fires like this.”
Area of forest lost to fire 2023-2024 was at least 2x greater than in previous nearly two decades.
