Five things don't quite make the post I wanted to make

1. The Lumix camera has an "aerial" mode, which comes complete with an on-screen warning to turn off for take-off and landing and obey crewmember instructions.

2. Our flight this morning was via Los Angeles.

3. I have my very own Station Fire images!

4. It's Update Tuesday, and the hotel internet isn't taking the strain very well.

5. Also, I don't know what's going on with Flickr, but I uploaded a couple of images at full resolution (because one of them really needs to be seen at full size to appreciate what it shows) and they still haven't shown up, so I can't blog them.

OK then

*Not* uploaded at full resolution, but this one hardly needs it. (It was taken at fairly high zoom -- we were out over the ocean at the time, heading north from LAX to San Jose.) That's the smoke from the remnant of the Station Fire, still burning in the far north-eastern corner.

Planned burn at Mount Wilson tomorrow, weather and whatnot permitting? It's been pretty quiet there all day, by the looks of it.
