Any way the wind blows, we get smoke, since there's forest fires burning on three side of us, though the closest is mostly contained. We've already had half a dozen days above 80°F and it almost hit ninety today. This is getting to be too much like the midwest!
Three sides! How close is the nearest one?
ReplyDeleteThe closest fire, 7 miles to the NE, is largely contained and no longer a threat. The others are west of town, maybe 20 miles away, and are making most of the smoke now. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so hot (near ninety yesterday), but with the heat and smoke, it sucks to be outside now. Read about it here:
