I live in Texas. (Gawd hep me). Our smoke mostly comes from Mexico. Occasionally there is volcanic ash mixed in with it. Fun times. Last year, for the first time ever in my 78 years, we had a wildfire threat not far from my house. I was packed up and ready to leave and take the couch wolves and the 2 mini sand cats with me. I do not want to be cremated. I’ve been fecking cremating for 78 years in Texas.
“You may all go to hell and I will go to Texas.” Davy Crockett said this angrily after losing his Tennessee bid for the U.S. Congress.
Thanks for sharing this Bess. So so apocalyptic. Our darkest days of covid were during the fires in Seattle where we felt not safe being inside our outside.
I'm trying to engage more parents in talking about how parenthood and climate intersect on a new podcast (climatepapa.com). The fires are such an acute painful example.
We’re recording an episode today on the fires. Any chance you’re interested in having a quick chat we could share as part of the conversation?
Sending love from Melbourne, Australia, where we had similarly apocalyptic smoke cover after horrific bushfires in January 2020. The sky will get better x
