This one looks like the truck ended up rolling for a bit.

Yet another accident I saw on/near the freeway on the way to work.

I'm assuming the car was going fast when the back end somehow rotated onto the K-rail.

Again, the hot Santa Anna winds are blowing West from the mountains. And again, these hot winds are causing a summer's worth of dry foliage to catch fire. And again the sun is occluded by the smoke.

I can finally capture the sunsets out here. I took the following shots:

And voilà!

So it's ashing outside on the job site right now. Don't know what that is? Well I'll tell you what that is ... It's like snow, but with little bits of burnt stuff instead.

Below is a satellite image of the current state of the smoke plumes from some of the fires raging in Southern California right now. I've added a little black dot to indicate where I am.

DOH!

Every seen a tire on the highway? I don't mean the kind attached to a car ... I'm talking about the kind that just detached itself from a car. I'm also talking about the kind that's bouncing around from car to car on the highway!!!

And you know what's worse than just seeing one of these bouncing bumper busters? What's worse is actually hitting one because you can't react fast enough and change lanes to get out of the way.

Ok, I've been putting this off for a while. But I'm still lazy, so I'm simply posting the contents of a letter I just sent a friend of mine :P

You know, I've been putting this off soo long, and now I have 4 weeks worth of stuff to talk about ... and I just can't even figure out where to start from :(

I was heading off for work, and this view took my breath away.

Gah! My flight was delayed by two & a half freaking hours. Looks like it was a combination of our plane showing up late from its previous run & there being a medical emergency on board. I saw them cart out a lady on an EMS stretcher; she was wrapped in a big yellow blanket and was breathing from an oxygen mask.

Thus, I was supposed to show up in LA(la land) at ~10:15pm, but ended up arriving at 12:20am!?!?!?!?! Gah!
