I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve heard about our newest fire in SoCal.  It started at Topanga Canyon Blvd and the 118(Simi Valley) freeway.  I went outside and took a few pictures.  <a href=\"http:\/\/donlafferty.com\/gallery\/topangafire\/P9290352\">This first one <\/a>is looking due east from our front lawn.  Notice how clear the air is.  <a href=\"http:\/\/donlafferty.com\/gallery\/topangafire\/P9290350\">The next one<\/a> is looking due west where the fire is.  Check out my <a href=\"http:\/\/donlafferty.com\/gallery\/\">gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And now I have a sty.  A sty in my eye.  Oh my.  I can&#8217;t remember how old I was the last time I had a large sty but I do remember I was a kid and my folks took me to an eye doctor to have it fixed.  I remember the eye doctor was a terrible man who put a needle in my eye that was about the size of a telephone pole.  I remember asking my mom if I was going to get a shot and her saying &#8220;no, you don&#8217;t need a shot.&#8221;  She was probably right as shots are given with needles that are closer to the size of a pencil.<\/p>\n<p>Ok, so the needle didn&#8217;t actually go into my eye, it just went into the corner.  Considering all my brother <a href=\"http:\/\/daryllafferty.com\">Daryl<\/a> went through with his eye when he was a kid I was probably a real big baby.  That&#8217;s ok, I was the baby after all.<\/p>\n<p>So now I&#8217;m dealing with this sty and I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s getting better with the heat packs.  I thought about going to the doctor but most of the advice on the internet says to just use heat and if it doesn&#8217;t go away in a few days THEN go see the doctor.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m pretty sure my dreams tonight will include telephone poles and mad doctors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, there&#8217;s fire.
