Surrealism in San Diego
Things spotted this morning during the San Diego wildfires while I bought groceries and gassed up the car:
- Police cars everywhere, and fire trucks screaming by on a regular basis
- Kids walking to school with bandannas over their mouths (what school isn't closed today?)
- A crying woman at a gas station filling her car while her husband, two kids, and myriad personal belongings were inside
- People at the grocery store filling dual carts with supplies
- The garbage truck and recycling truck passing by our house doing their usual pickup, as if nothing is happening
- A pocket of blue sky overhead, but high and ominous clouds of mustard and ochre smoke obscuring the northern horizon
