Girlfalldown 0 #1 October 12, 2004 Shite!!!! All day long my lungs have been killing me. I thought it was just foggy outside but then it started smelling funny too. When I look out the window it's thick with haze and I can't even see Tiburon! Finally found out it's the wild fires in the northbay HERE (cough cough) My eyes are all red now. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

gemini 0 #3 October 12, 2004 For the last two or three years usually in the spring, we get very hazy days that smell like smoke. It was smoke from Mexico where they were burning cane fields. Blue skies, Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pop 0 #4 October 12, 2004 We were doing some skydives out in Texas during the bad Mexico fires. It was amazing. We would get to about 10 grand and we would be above the layer of smoke. The visuals were incredible.7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Girlfalldown 0 #5 October 12, 2004 Back when I lived in Southern California I remember the huge fires we had where we'd be covered in ash if walked outside. That was crazy. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mfrese 0 #6 October 12, 2004 Anybody remember that huge tire fire they had in the valley (somewhere around Modesto) a few years ago? Burned for a week or so, turned half of Northern California into Los Angeles? I was jumping at Byron during one of those weekends, and the smoke layer very clearly ended at about 7K. It's the only time I've ever smelled the air in freefall. It was very strange, seeing all this beautiful, fresh-smelling blue sky, and then hitting this stinky brown layer. Blech! Anyway, get some Visine, hope they get the fires out soon!Doctor I ain't gonna die, Just write me an alibi! ---- Lemmy/Slash Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablopilot 2 #7 October 12, 2004 HAd some bad fires in the area a few years ago, that actually shut operations at SkyDance down. The fires wer more than 100 miles away, but we couldn't even see the ground from altitude one day. Then there was a couple years ago when I went up to Molalla, OR to Skydive Oregon for the Freedom jam boogie. I drove up and there were huge fires in Eastern Oregon I think. Was so thick I actually had to slow down on the highway. Molalla was north enough to be clear though, so a great weekend was had.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

sunshine 2 #8 October 12, 2004 Ok, so you got pissed off and started some fires. But then you post about it as if you don't know how they started. Damn you're a genius. You really know how to fool the cops. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You really know how to fool the cops. Remember that show, Murder She Wrote? Every where this woman went, someone got murdered. Every week! Now really, how many parties have you been to and someone was murdered? One? Two? Let's say four at the outside. That woman is definitely a genius. Nobody catches on. She not only whacks people and gets away with it, but she also slides the blame onto somebody else in a sly fashion. Far too cunning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
