DDB is in LA right now. The fires are raging all around. There is smoke and particles all around. Where we are at is about 5-7 miles form the closest fire. You should have seen the smoke clouds yesterday when we were flying in to LAX. The fires we saw were on the sides of a mountain and the smoke clouds were as big or bigger than the mountain. We were about 10,000 feet up (I would guess) and I could see the flames on the side of the mountain. They had to be huge for me to be able to see them. It smells like a campfire everywhere in LA. I don't know how the locals can stand it. We are glad to be flying out this afternoon. It is hard to sing, think, and just be in this environment. I definitely feel for those who are ck=loser to the fires; especially the firefighters.
Peace
