No Smoke and Blue Skies

Today I drove about greater Los Angeles and saw no smoke and beautiful blue skies.  

The column of smoke that yesterday had blown over the Pacific and reached as far as Long Beach was gone. Looking across the bay towards the Pacific Palisades, there was no smoke.  Heading north on the 405, no smoke.  I took a detour to drop off a donation of supplies via La Cienega.  We then wove our way to the 110 north.  We drove through DTLA, the traffic was surprisingly good.  No smoke, blue skies.  From there we got onto the 5 heading north to the 14.  We saw no smoke from the Eaton Fire.  On the 14 we drove past where the Hurst fire was still burning.  No smoke.  We made our way to Palmdale where we could see the backside of  San Antonio Mountain, the home of the Angeles National Forest. No smoke.  Heading home on the 14 to the 5 to the 405 south.  No smoke.  We drove through the Sepulveda Pass.  The exits to Skirball, the Getty, and Sunset Blvd were all closed.  No Smoke.  Not only was there no smoke,  we never saw evidence of fire.  It was a beautiful day.
