It's an abbreviated edition of the blog on this Fourth of July holiday. Make that a smokey Fourth of July.
The picture of the smoke filtering the sun was taken by me around 6:30 p.m. yesterday from Carrillo Boulevard.
Fireworks shows that were scheduled for Girsh Park and Stow Grove, both in Goleta, have been cancelled due to the fire.
As I write this, the Sparkle show and firework's display down at the beachfront in the City of Santa Barbara is still scheduled to go on.
Have a safe and sane Fourth!
