I'm grateful we've been having a mild summer with only a few hot days, but we sure could use a good soaker. Our beautiful Olympic forest is on fire. It's so smoky here, it sorta makes you feel grungy all the time. Haven't seen Bae on here for a bit so wondering if he's involved in fighting fire across the water.
My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!
okay----it cooled down some last evening, and the outdoor catts went out this afternoon. They pretty much have stayed inside, the last coupla weeks. Yup. So yeah--78 degrees. Not bad.
Those big forest fire are scary, and sad.Originally Posted by KayLR
Cold front in the Great Lakes area for a few days and it’s bringing Canadian wildfire smoke here. Air alert day today. I can actually smell the smoke.
We've had enough wildfires here on the island to keep us busy. We almost lost half the island a couple of weeks ago, but we kept it from spreading with superb interagency cooperation and assistance. Lots of little ones since then. One only about 1500 feet from my home. It is never too late to do the NFPA Firewise program for your house and neighborhood!!!
However, the smoke in the air sure makes for some nice sunsets from my deck, this was last night's:
Sorry for the fires, bae but you are right about the beautiful sunset!!! Thanks for the pic.

We've had a haze here that I've come to know as a tequila sunrise. I've not picked up in the news whether it's the fires in Canada, our west slope, or the Grand Canyon fires, which I've seen is virtually unconfined at 120 square miles. We also have ozone alerts for poor air quality during the summer, something to do with a temperature inversion along the front range that happens frequently. I just checked the air quality rating and it's in the moderate rage, so nothing severe. It seems to change daily, but hasn't been terrible.

okay----it's HOT. But yeah---last week was HOT(starting Tuesdy), this week is HOT, and prolly the week after will be HOT. I'm planning ta go upta the intersection after dark, and sit-n-watch the cruisers, but heck---it might still be too HOT. The catts are just laying around, waiting to be fedd. Yup. So are the wild, rabid howling wooolves. The situation almost makeds me wish i'da voted for Camella and alla the other fanaticrats, so they'da done something about this global warming! Ha. Not really. Anyway---i'm doing my part by keeping my carbon footprint small. See? Hope that helps you kids. Thankk mee.
okay----8 days later, and it's HOTTER than it was before! Really, really HOT! The forecast is, that someday, it will cool down. Waaaay down, so it'll be colder'n it has been since the ice age! Yup.
