How to Deal With Stress in Los Angeles or Canada

The last few weeks have been crazy. Canada doesn’t really do forest fires. It’s just too damn cold. We don’t even really do floods. We do mucky rain, and muckier snow. We get plenty of muck, but nothing disasterous enough to demand a movie of the week.

California, on the other hand, catches on fire. The whole state. If you haven’t already, google the NASA photos of the California wildfires. From Space it looked like the devil just took a blowtorch to the whole state.

How do all these fires affect a Canadian? Well, I live with too many people. There’s four of us in a 2 and 1/2 person apartment. But, when our San Diego friends go smoked out, we aquired three more live ins. There just aren’t enough couches. We bought a couple air mats, which doesn’t help much. There has yet to be a day when I don’t step on a squatter while trying to get to our tiny kitchen to blend breakfast. Ah, well, I used to blend my breakfast. Now, I can’t wake anyone so I just shake it up real hard.

I shouldn’t be bitching too much, though, because these had a very real possibility of not having a house or any blenders to go home to. Fortunately, the firemen did their thing right, and our friends headed home. This is good for everyone.
