Calm at Sunset

Wildfires have burned the entire back country I used to fly over, including the training area for Gillespie; the route up the Julian VOR to the desert, the route north to French Valley, and south along the border outside of Class B airspace. The Santiago Peak area of Orange County has also burned. Silverado Canyon is one of the most beautiful areas on Southern California. What will it look like now?

On TV there are horror movies for Halloween and the documentaries aren't much better. On CNN there is the "planet in peril" series and on the History Channel they were doing a special about colliding galaxies. Somewhere in the future the Andromeda galaxy is slated to collide with the Milky Way, of which we are an infinitesimal part.

No wonder I feel anxiety. Time to go down to the beach and watch the sun set, or if cloudy, watch the sunset change the sky.
