Yep, we are burning—again. I find it hard to believe but in the surrounding mountains which envelope the San Fernando Valley, you’ll find fire. Already 140,000 plus acres have burned along with about 60 or so homes. The air quality here is horrible already with the L.A.smog, but the ash in the air makes it worse. Call it extreme, but I’ve even cut back on my driving for fear of sucking up too much ash in my cars air filter. The fine particles in the air can’t be good for the engine. I figure if it ain’t good to breath, it ain’t good for the car either.
