I'm working from home today and I look outside my window across Washoe Valley to see this:

i know the fires are always bad in southern California, but how bad are they in the northern parts? Is that(pictures) common?

I only ask because i got a job working at a camp a little bit west of lake Tahoe...should i expect fires like that all summer?

No way. I still have my Sadowsky guitars and basses

...and smokin' hot g/f. Thank you 8 pound 6 ounce cute little baby Jesus and the always great tasting Taco Bell, wonderful Sadowsky guitars and basses which is proud to announce the Walter Beck Signature guitar which we all look forward to, my other sponsors, and my two beautiful sons, and ..... (sorry, hybrid Talledega Nights flashback)

Seriously: the Sierras are vast. This fire was caused by 75+ mph winds knocking down power lines into the brush. Most of the fires are caused by lightening strikes.
