The Summer of Our Disco Tent

Wildfires Play Havoc with Wogging

After California went through its driest Spring on record, fire season, which normally doesn’t begin until August, has already hit the state hard. Huge fires on San Bruno Mountain and in Napa and Solano Counties have turned the Bay Area atmosphere into one big haze. It got so bad that I had to curtail my wogging, as bad air pollution makes it hard for me to breathe. Yesterday I finally went out to the Berkeley Marina with woglist primed on my pod, and found that the stiff breeze coming off the coast improved the air quality considerably, enabling me to do a good brisk wog to Disco Tent, the coming Weekly Wog. Still, it’s weird seeing a wan, reddish sun struggling through the sky, almost as though it were autumn instead of the middle of high summer.

Weekly Wog: Oddly enough, one of the songs in this week’s wog is Disco Inferno (Burn Baby Burn), by the Trammps. Let’s hope the only burnin’ going on where you are is body fat!
