*WHOA *COUGH*...
Greetings from southern California...Where the sky is brownish-gray with ash as the place burns to the ground. Those of us in the cities are far from the flames, but we're all breathing in air that is even more toxic than it usually is.

The wifey and I walked to the top of our local Trader Joe's parking garage to watch the blood red sun set this evening. Eerie stuff.

HopE firefighters can get control of all these fires (there are plenty). And I hope folks directly and indirectly affected can make it through this really difficult time.

It will be interesting to see how our federal government and all the moronic talking heads react to these events (bravo to the state of California and local folks for handling things exceptionally well). There's no way you cannot think about New Orleans and Katrina. Who will get rebuilt first: San Diego or New Orleans? Even with N.O.'s two-year head-start, I'm bettin' on San Diego.

*HOW 'BOUT THEM FREAKIN' RED SOX!!
BOW DOWN!! Man, oh man!! I have to tell ya..I've given up on the Sox several times this year and yet they keep on surprising me. They had no business winning that Cleveland series with all the double plays they hit into. I'm loving this team, even though I believe Julio Lugo and Eric "Gag ne with a Spoon" are spies paid off by Yankees GM Brian Cashman.

Colorado's dangerous. They're so young, they don't realize they shouldn't be winning 21 out of 22 games. But they've had 8 days off. Enough to cool them. Sox in six. And then Papelbon will dance.

*MY EVIL TWIN SISTER UP IN SEATTLE..
..is opening up a second T(ea) Gallery!! Tomorrow (Wednesday), 7:30am-3:30pm , 700 5th Ave, the Seattle Municipal Tower in downtown Seattle. So get on down there and pick up some great tea. And say hello. Here's her website.

*ART SHOW IN LAS VEGAS..
I just got a call from my man Andy Taylor in Las Vegas. He asked me for some art for a comics show he's putting together for Las Vegas First Fridays on November 2nd. I won't bew there in person, but you should be. I will be out there for Thanksgiving, though. Mebbe I'll set up a signing to kick off the Holla-day Season.
