Sunrise on Krypton..

California is on fire!..


From time to time,particularly during Summer,we experience a phenomenon here in the Golden State affectionately referred to as 'Dry Lightning'.
It's really quite impressive,what with the sunny skies,and bone jarring peals of thunder that suddenly erupt without warning.

Well,that's all well and good,but it turns out there is one unfortunate side effect to all of this primal display of power.
Here in the North State,our gorgeous sylvan neighborhoods are especially vulnerable to wildfires.


The pic below is not a dismally overcast day in Los Angeles...Oh no.
It's a photo of the sun,just as it began to rise over O-Town this very morn.

There are 27 fires burning in the immediate area,and the resultant smoke has permeated the atmosphere.
Odd as it may seem,that's the good news!
You see,the smoke is hovering still over the valley because there is very little wind to blow it away,and consequently,no wind to feed the fires.

Thus far,while there are several thousand acres ablaze,the firefighters have been able to stay ahead of the fires,and prevent any damage to homes in the area,and the people and animals that reside therein.

Now,as any one who came of age reading Action Comics in the 50's is well aware,there is yet another bonus to the 'Red Sun' effect..

..SUPERPOWERS!..

Yep,..I fully expect that once the yellow sun reappears,I'll be wondrously transformed,according to the natural laws of cosmic solar hue effects on nerdy superhero wannabees.

Hey!..Maybe I'll finally get that X-Ray vision I've dreamed about,since puberty!
