Writing as a salp sometimes washed up on the beach up near Tillamook Head in Oregon, I tend to be a bit opinionated about the ocean, and I really liked finding this post of yours about smoke. Seems obvious, but how many people are making a note of it? Recently visiting the beach in Santa Monica on a low tide, I found myself wheezing and my one good eye quite cloudy. I was perturbed by the odd color of the underside of the ocean's top (I was under water) - kind of a weird gelid mauve, and the flavor was all wrong. Back up north on the 100 mph winds, in a jiffy, the next week, I found dead adolescent raccoons on the beach for the first time - washed off Tillamook Head by wave action taking away the ancient cliffs, with little raccoons perched on the cliffside trees, kersplash, and too young to know how to swim with the current and so to the beach. Not good. I hope you keep writing: I will keep reading as long as I can find a dog who can help me get online to keep up with your blog. Thanks.

Thank you for the reminder that it all ends up somewhere. The satellite image of the smoke plumes is impressive, but I definitely wasn’t thinking about where all that smoke would go when it falls.
