I’m pretty sure it’s Plectranthus amboinicus aka Cuban Oregano. From what I can see this plant can vary in how it looks.

The ash is crazy!

A couple days ago it looked like I woke up on Mars. The sky was dark and orange, more than the norm.

This pic doesn’t do it justice, but it was so dark I had to turn on the house lights on all day.

This is what it looks like today to show comparison. I’d say this is what it normally looks like during wildfire season. It’s hazy, can’t see the blue sky, and there’s a slight orange cast, but the day I took the above pic it was nuts! It was a strange day🤪.

Yes, that's what it is. Thank you for the ID. Cuban Oregano, but I don't think I'd cook with it. I like the plant though and have it underplanted with an anthurium. I'd take a pic but don't want to go outside.

Just stay in Kara. Tomorrow in Socal is supposed to be our worst day with air quality at 300. It's just horrifying, but worse for people who have to evacuate, lost homes or even lives. We have to hunker down, my friend!

PS we talked about fleeing to the local mountains or beach, but it's bad everywhere.
