  1. “Remember, you cannot leave your house to go outside, even if it’s healthier for you to be outside. Therefore if your house is on fire, too bad. Abandon common sense and stay inside your burning house, you science-denying COVIDIOTS!” XOXO, Gavin

  2. MM, have you checked the local weather forecasts yourself, or are you just responding to this advisory. In areas of Goleta and the City of Santa Barbara, including the Painted Cave Crest Station, the conditions are not going to be that extreme. Nothing close to what we had a last month. To the North (Lompoc) and South (Carpentaria), yes, it looks a bit dry and windy.
