Yeah....it's pretty smokey out here in Oregon right now. Options

Where I live in my county (Clackamas), we are currently at yellow, level 2...meaning you better be packed and ready to evacuate at a moment's notice if the level changes to 3 (red). Crazy times here and the skies are apocalyptic.

We had some scattered controlled wild fires that got hit last week by a couple of days of 60+ mph wind gusts, and the entire state exploded.
Over a million areas burned already and some of the fires have zero containment.

Luckily the weather is cooperating with cooler more humid air and little wind.
Plus we're are supposed to get some needed rain next week.

The 914 is operational/mobile so can be moved to the hotel we have reserved if needed.
The other P car was in the midst of a bunch of work, so was not.
Had it towed yesterday as a precaution to the shop that does all my paint work.
Great guys.

Fifth consecutive day (or seventh? or more?) of heavy smoke and visible ash in the Bay Area, and I am sure there are other places that have had it worse or much worse (my brother's town, in eastern California at higher elevation, has had air you simply do not want to breathe, even briefly).

They say the Bay Area is supposed to see a system push the smoke east (?) starting tonight, but we'll see. This is nasty stuff, and breathing it or dealing with it from a mental perspective isn't to be minimized—but neither seem like much compared to the reality of those on the front lines or those directly displaced (or worse…) by the cause of all this smoke. Harrowing times, and having been mildly threatened by fire burning 12-15 miles away with little or no containment for well more than a week, my heart goes out to those affected by all this up and down the west coast.
