Watchduty is great.
If you want to get eyes on it (so to speak), you can also use ALERTCalifornia to see what alert cameras are looking at the fire zone.

Yesterday on the way home from church, I saw a small convoy of 5-6 fire trucks. They did not look familiar to me, but as they passed two of them had Arizona fire on their sides. Two different counties listed. The others did not have any markings but I would guess they too came from Arizona. Long way to come to help with the wildfires.

Interesting. Come to the US and get deported because they are here illegally. interesting. Sounds sort of familiar, doesn't it?
I fixed my toaster oven. Didn't cost me a dime. I decided to change the outlet on the power strip it was plugged in to and found out only one of the metal tabs was even plugged in.
After plugging it in correctly the toaster oven works like a charm. I must have tried to plug it in while in the dark because I can't fathom any other way I would miss that.

Not possible. The small cord that came with the toaster oven is too short to reach the wall plug. Hence the power strip.
So now there is a left and right sock, eh? Why didn't I get the memo? Of course, in my situation the right sock is a compression sock, and the left one isn't, so it is easy to figure out which foot to have the caregiver put it on.

My feet don't care what I wear. And at my age my mind doesn't care either. However, the compression sock is necessary. I don't care what color it is, but black is my favorite color, so it is cool that the sock is that color.
