You're probably wondering what the air quality looks like at my house in Northern California. Yeah. Oh yeah, you're looking at my window. So this is my view. So the trees that you can see, there's a focus, the trees you can see are literally my neighbor's trees. So those are close. Everything behind it is obscured from view. So the fires, I think they're over 150 miles away now. Imagine this. This is my air quality in Pleasanton, California. So I'm in the Bay Area. The fires, I think the closest one is like 150, 170 miles away, something like that. And this is my air quality. Imagine if you're within ten miles or 50 miles.

So people are saying yes, that forest management is an issue, but let's see some more information on that from qualified people.

All right. So my brother, whose location I won't reveal, who is also in California but he's already lost his internet and cable connection, and he is, I guess the fire is six miles away and he's on the evacuation alert. So my brother's getting ready to abandon his home to the fire any time now. I think probably there's more chance that smoke would be an issue where he is than fire, but I cou
