There are over one thousand wild fires burning through out the state of California.
One of the largest has been burning just a few miles from where I live. The air is filled with the acrid smell of smoke and the sky is a gray/orange haze. The air quality is really bad right now. I find it harder to breath outside lately because I have emphysema and the smoke really messes with my lungs. Fortunately to my knowledge no homes have been destroyed. (yet). The fire that is burning near here started Saturday around 3:pm and has burned over 4'000 acres so far. Not much else to report other than I lost my virginity and shopped at "Wal-Mart" for the first time ever yesterday and was pleasantly surprised that I got so much for my money. I swore I would never shop there because of their questionable business practices and their politics but I have to face the fact that our local K-Mart SUCKS!! OUT LOUD!!!
I went into the store with the intention of spending no more than $100. I got 2 pairs of shoes, 2 pair of pants, 5 t-shirts, ten pair of socks and a very nice dress shirt. When I got to the checkout it all came to $99.15 . I was really amazed. Well thats all for now.

We had Wal-Marts on virtually every corner in Louisiana and I loved them, even worked for them once. Out here in California, you don't find so many of them. Cindy's never been to one. I told her how cheap everything in the store was priced and still we haven't gone.
I love supporting Mom and Pop stores too, but when you've only got a little money, Mom and Pop stores are expensive as hell and take all of it.
