I Can Sort of Sing Again
4 July in Pacifica - by Celticangel
It would seem that the eternal smoke in the air problem here in California affects my singing ability. You all remember how intrinsic music is to me, yes? Well, last week the best I could hope for was about one line of a song before I developed a pain behind my sternum and had to stop.
No, I don’t have an inhaler. Why do you ask?
This weekend it’s a wee bit better, but I hope that we get some nice clean rain soon.
Speaking of air quality, on 4 July I was down at the beach in Pacifica with Koshvader, as you can see in the pic above, and the air was like soup. I think that the pic is the visual representation of what my lungs think about the air these days.
Think that the atmosphere in the pic above is a trick or a momentary thing? Try this one…
Yep. That is a photograph. Scary, eh? For more pics from 4 July, go here.
Happy Bastille Day folks!
Happy Bastille Day!
Wow - those pictures are amazing, but also totally disturbing! That’s not good breathing-air!!

I’ve had pain behind my sternum a couple times the last couple weeks - usually when I’m doing strenuous work for my job. Is that from all the smoke? I would sure like that better than the idea I might be having heart attacks! And, those pictures are beautiful! So surreal!

Hi lisa-marie! That pain has always indicated respiratory issues. I used to get it with asthmatic problems and bronchitis. Yay fun.
Glad you like the photos.
