Really truly.

I slept with all the windows open and barely smelled smoke. It must have been blowing in the opposite direction. Was it smoky where you are?

Wow... that must have been pretty scary.

Otherwise, you've got a GORGEOUS view!

Not scary, really, since it's an island surrounded by water. But sad. It's a National Historic Landmark with a lot of cultural significance and history. (It's where Chinese immigrants were detained for years during the Chinese Exclusion Act in the late eighteen hundreds).

I feel guilty admiring how beautiful it was burning, but it was beautiful!

I know what you mean - I couldn't see it as well when we had the hayman fire here, but I did have some good orange glow....it's nice, but also sad.

But you have a ROCKING bedroom view!
