“All we are is dust in the wind.” -Kansas, the band, not the State.
As expected , the ashes from the wildfires are descending upon the surface where we dwell. The smell of smokes dominates the air.
I spoke to a friend who I rarely speak to because of these wildfires. I’m glad that they are safe.
I dug up my DSLR Camera that I had not used for quite a few years, partially thanks to the advancement in phone cameras. I was hoping to capture the moments of the day, in particular the Crimson Sunset as the result of the wildfires in Southern California.
Unfortunately I had a few appointments today that prevented me from reaching the spot where I could photograph the Sunset on time.
I have charged the batteries and prepared the memory cards. I hope I could capture a few slice of tomorrow.
Originally I was going to title this post “The Wind Cries Scary” or “Los Angeles is Burning”
Obviously, I’m talking about the severe wind conditions and multiple fires in Greater Los Angeles.
There has not been a shortage of burning fires in Los Angeles in the last 30-40 years. This time it is just as scary as they all were, the fire.
It had been a busy day on the sixth day of 2025. We installed a few new security cameras on a location, replacing the old and outdated ones.
I feel a bit anxious today for a particular reason. If you know, you know.
By the way, a colleague of ours procured a “Tuxedo Cat” LEGO earlier.
We have a new addition to our team but we don’t ha a name badge for him yet. Bananas for scale.
To day is the last day of segmented working weeks due to holidays. We’re going back for a full week of workdays.
I have another iMac to work on this week.
We had a late night/early morning craving for some food. So we ended up in a Denny’s really late at night or too early in the morning. I ordered Grilled Bourbon Chicken Skillet with over easy eggs while others had breakfasts.
Later in the day we were working on wiping out computer hard drives, getting them ready for e-waste collection.
I’m getting an M4 iMac ready for deployment tomorrow, Saturday January 4, 2025; and it’s blue.
Some of our colleagues are traveling today to attend a memorial service for another colleague who passed away a few weeks ago. The service will be held tomorrow.
Personal note, it’s pretty cold and wet today. Thanks to the heavy fogs earlier in the morning.
