This is totally unrelated to things nuclear (unless you’re into “Lynn Eden”:http://books.google.com/books?id=yDk5hfkyISUC), but I just wanted to note that the “1,345 NorCal fires”:http://www.montereyherald.com/local/ci_9742015 are no fun. If you’ve ever been to Monterey Bay, you know that the area is usually quite foggy. It’s somewhat disturbing, however, to not be able to tell whether the thing in the distance is fog or smoke.
