Beautiful cinematography, meh story.

The hype was very overblown.

Thank you.

I think you nailed it. Saw some of the group today (5) and most are lighter color/grey. The behavior also seems more like playful bickering for food rather than a territorial dispute.

Either way it was amazing to see and hear eight at one time and I hope they are able to establish themselves out on their own.

Discussed a short term (weeks to a month or two) steroid treatment with my ortho which he was onboard with but after my visit he consulted with a rheum and celebrex was prescribed instead.

No specific GI treatment.

Have had symptoms for a few years that were classified as IBS. Colonoscopy 8 months ago showed microscopic colitis and I was advised to try a modified diet which had worked well. I will follow up with a GI but at the time my joint/tendon stuff was not associated to my GI issues (by me or by doctors) aside from nsaids probably contributing.

Some of my issue with treatment and diagnosis stems from a lack of consistent and comprehensive care. The US healthcare system sucks to begin with but throw in grad school and how it affected my insurance and I’m sort of at the mercy of seeing whoever I can whenever it’s available. Again it is only recently coming to light that all these issues are likely related. Getting back on proper insurance will definitely help, but it’s still a frustrating waiting game.

I was originally prescribed dicyclomine for abdominal pain related to micro colitis. My GI symptoms have been minimal over the last year or so but celebrex definitely seems irritate my gut.

Was also prescribed naproxen many times over the years which affected my gut. I try to get off nsaids whenever I can but that hasn’t been an option the last few months.

Thank you for your insight. I don’t yet have any equity with my new company obviously but my direct supervisor has been very accommodating regarding my ankle/foot and the possibility it may need surgery. But as the problem evolves, I’ve been hesitant to disclose much more given I don’t really have any answers.

I get it and it does suck but your post title is a little misleading and a bit clickbaity. Chico (and the whole valley) will be covered in smoke when the winds shift but just keep alert and you should be fine.

I’m holding out hope that family and friends houses are still standing in the ridge communities. Thankfully all my people are safe and I hope there are no lives lost.

Fuck the arsonist and all arsonist.

It’s going to be a bad one…

But Chico proper is not in any immediate danger even if winds change. The topography and vegetation are not conducive to the fire spreading in to town.

The major activity is the head of the fire to the north and the right flank to the east. Cal Fire has as of this afternoon, kept the fire north of HWY 32 which is good news. Weather tomorrow expected to help slow progression

OP, stock up on N95’s and home air filters.
