Aaaaand instant headache.

Fuck this shit.

Spent all night on the mountain last night, played with the sat views a bit.  I watched the clouds form in the mountains between AZ and CA, which then went off to Vegas, leaving CA to burn.

wrote some shit.  will post shortly.

A wildfire started in my town as well today, not bad enough to worry about evacuating but maybe should start to think about what to put in a go-bag. Living that SoCal life!

In other news I found a job! It's not as many hours as I'd like, but I make good tips so that's nice. It's also crazy and bilingual.

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU PEOPLE LIVE LIKE THIS?!

My husband is the previous make and model of Project: BITCHHAMMER than Richter, so he's like, "Whatever." And I'm in San Diego like, "OMG IS MY SHIT GONNA BURN DOWN LIKE TOMORROW WTF."

Seriously, like...fucking SERIOUSLY. I am so on edge. But I presume that if some San Diegans were on the East Coast and a Category 5 was just spinning along in the ocean, they'd feel much the same way I am right now.

There is nowhere people can live that isn't fraught with natural disasters of some kind. Forest fires, hurricanes, volcanoes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, plain old flooding... there's something for everyone.

And you only have a couple massive volcanoes in your backyard. No pressure.  :lulz:


Also, a friend of mine is apparently an "ambassador" for those essential oil vape sticks, aaaaaaaaand she sent me 2 of them, to "help with my stress" and give her a review. These are covered with warnings about not to inhale, and I wonder how many people actually do. They're designed to just go directly into your olfactory systems for aromatherapy benefits, and not go into your lungs and kill you, evidently.

Whatever, they're 20 bucks a pop, and I got them for free. For that I'll give her an almost-honest review.  They have bling on the bottoms, for them fancy hipsters.

And we built our city on a faultline in a tsunami zone, just in case there was a chance we survive the volcanoes.

I think the only natural hazard where my parents live is rain, and overzealous bulls.

This is true.  But it's only because they want to check you are not a cow yourself.  Or, it's because you tipped them over in their sleep, one or the other.

Speaking of which, I am currently in the country.  Rather, in a depressing hotel on a small commercial estate surrounding a petrol station, near a village.  In a way I like this place, as it reminds me of how much worse things could be.  The gentleman behind the counter in the petrol station told me he had served over a thousand people already today, and I strongly suspect he had not been on the first morning shift.  Everything costs at least £2 more than it would in central London, because you're a captive fucking audience and they know it.  The internet is terribly slow, and I can only get 3G signal in the corner of the room next to the window.

There's also children everywhere.

I have some nutbag on OKC asking me for advice on starting The Revolution and immediately ignoring it. It's hilariously predictable.

why would you ignore the revolution?  It doesn't seem like you're really into this.   :lulz:

I thought the middle-upstate NY region where I used to live was untouchable, but then Hurricane Irene accidentally the entire Catskills. Turns out, living in the valleys of mountains that are made up almost entirely of silty sandstone, with no real permeability, results in small villages getting washed into the Hudson. Not often, but enough.

The real threat, of course, is the fucking tent caterpillars.

You mean the Snowbelt?  :lulz: Jeffland. Where we got a foot of snow for Thanksgiving, and my husband called it  a mild Thursday.  He wants to move back up that way when he retires. I told him bye. Where the FUCK am I going to work? Utica? Syracuse?  :vom:

I don't count heavy snowfall as a natural disaster, 'cause if you build the houses and roads correctly it's hardly an issue.

But I am also a filthy, unwashed mountain hick who only requires 2 hours of sunlight a day, so YMMV.

Similar to Jeff.

In fact, I'm pretty sure the next military move is going to end up in our divorce. I don't want to think about it, but the idea of having to move back to the Northeast and dealing with that shit again makes me ill. But, it's his job and his choices.

Not that it matters, mind you. President Trump is going to ensure that the Russians or Chinese kill my husband anyway.
