Normally I would wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment of northwest Oregon being one of the best places in the world. But right now, we are on fire, and (while nowhere in my county is under any kind of an evacuation order, which makes us an outlier at the moment) the skies look only a little less like Mordor than they did yesterday.

I replied:

Washington is also on fire, so I might as well be at home!

[ETA 2/27/2024: ngl, my memories of 2020 are so dominated by the pandemic that I had actually forgotten about hellfire descending on the PNW as well.]
