Just learned the damn thing is a arson job by a nutcase. Now nearly 180,000 acres ablaze with zero containment. The plume of smoke is astonishing. Fire trucks still rolling in from everywhere.
The absolutely massive size of this fire is astounding.
Zoom into northern California on:

Thank God we cool off tomorrow.

Well, listen everybody to what I'm goin' to say
I don't think that I can beat this heat another day
I went down to the river - about ninety-eight degrees
I spent all day and half the night in water to my knees

Oh those scorchin' days of summer are here
When sun shines more likely than not
Gonna lay here in the shade, gonna drink me another ice-cold beer
Because ooh boys, it's hot
Oh, Jerry

Well I cut off all my Levis, I had to make some shorts
Left me with a bunch of legs of odd and varied sorts
I'm standin' by my garden I wish like hell it 'd rain
I know that all the seeds I planted gotta feel the same

Oh those scorchin' days of summer are here
When sun shines more likely than not
Gonna lay here in the shade, gonna drink me another ice-cold beer
Because ooh boys, it's hot

Well, listen everybody to what I've gotta say
I don't think that I can beat this heat for another day
I've got dogs and cats and chickens all sleepin' in the shade
A dreamin' how those huskies in Alaska got it made

Oh those scorchin' days of summer are here
When sun shines more likely than not
Gonna lay here in the shade, gonna drink me another ice-cold beer
Because ooh boys, it's hot
Ahhh, one more

Oh those scorchin' days of summer are here
When sun shines more likely than not
Gonna lay here in the shade, gonna drink me another ice-cold beer
Because ooh boys
I said ooh boys
I said ooh boys
It's hot!

My weather app (changes every time you look at it) says next several days we get down to the 50's at night, and 70-80's day. Sounds like a Dream after 90+ temps for last 2 weeks (it seems)

I've seen it go from 93 to 91 then, half an hour later, it'll be 93 again
