[AZ-Observing] Smoke from California fires

A somewhat pensive thought;
I was just outside in Phoenix, Az. for a moment and noticed the crescent Moon 
setting.  It was a dull red color from the smoke generated by the fires in 
southern California.  I got to thinking how I would feel if I had 15 minutes to 
gather up all I could of my loved ones and my life's belongings and get out of 
the path of an all consuming conflagration.

Sometimes the mundane does intrude into a vision of the Universe.

A sobering thought, and I don't even drink much, anymore;
