Arizona - Blog Posts
Holy fuck I live here and didn't know it was this bad
Ok yall. A serious topic right now, far from the other topics I mention on this blog.
Arizona is literally on fire.
The state has at least 4 wildfires going on and thousands of firefighters are fighting this, but we have less than half contained on the biggest fire. (42%)
Our biggest fire is the Bush fire, that has already covered 180k acres.
Now I know what most of you might be thinking, 'oh, this is Arizona, it happens a lot.' Well let me tell you that Arizona doesn't get large wildfires often. Surprise, it's not common here. We usually get smaller wildfires which we put out quickly, most often in a day.
Our firefighters are trying their best to get these fires contained but due to the immense heat and the strong winds, its getting difficult. Lots of people who live close to the fires had been evacuated already.
I can only see the smoke covering what used to be our beautiful blue skies. Its been like this for days.
These fires started on June 13th but the majority of news about this is from Arizona. I have found only few other news casts talking about this. Our state is suffering (most of it in ruins) and it feels like we're not being heard about this.
This post is not to put down any of the protesting or other important news. I just want people to be aware of what is happening here right now.
We're on fire.

the trip back home was just as fun as the trip itself. buying $1 scratch-offs, a pretty big drink, and beef jerky: the best american experience.

February
First crickets of an Arizona
Spring breaks the hush of
A cold-snap winter.
Light rain makes for a soggy
Week, but is never enough for the
Reservoirs. The streets grow louder
As motorcyclists break out their
Bikes, emboldened by the rising
Warmth. Finally, the last citrus fruits
Gain their ripeness, falling lethargically
To stone gardens, preparing to
Adorn themselves with new blossoms.
