Because the weather in Los Angeles is confused and wrong it’s been nearly ninety degrees outside even though it’s almost November. As a result there are a bunch of fires burning in the hills around the city, so a thin layer of smoke is drifting over everything. That in and of itself isn’t unusual (at least not for LA — anywhere else when the city is burning down it’s cause for panic) but what is strange is that the sun shining through the smoke this morning turned a weird reddish-purple color, and all around it the sky turned a blood red color. I can only imagine what people thousands of years ago would have done after seeing a sight like that — when I first saw the sky my immediate thought was that we needed to start sacrificing goats and virgins left and right. It’s no wonder that this is the city that brought us Armageddon, Volcano, and The Core.
Unrelated, but just for fun guess which pumpkin was carved by the art school graduate.
