Ode to California in 1963


Will California ever again be

The state I remember fond ely

From 1963?


Photo taken by E.A. Autrey in Santa Barbara, 1963.  Poem inspired by another day inside with my air filter running full blast because of the Red Flag warning, and the EPA PM2.5 (particulate matter) >150 (safe is under 50.)  But I'm one of the lucky ones; Santa Rosa PM2.5 is >250 and Cloverdale is >400.  If Covid doesn't destroy ones lungs, the bad air will.

The Neighborhood Mannequin Has Gotten Political



 Top photo from September, shot in the Orange Fire Ash Fog.  Vote democratic to save the environment, before the rest of the country looks like the burning down west coast.


Bottom photo from March, when the sun was shining and the sky was Blue in California.  Mannequin Bunny has since seen the light!
