Hack, Cough

[rejectomorph]

No sooner does the weather turn pleasant than smoke fills the air. Neither Cal Fire nor any of the other web sites has any current news about a fire in the area, so either it just got started and there hasn't been time to get the information up, or this smoke is from the fire that's been slowly burning way up in the mountains for several weeks. If it's the latter, something must have stirred it up, and the breeze is just right to carry the smoke here. We've only had intermittent, light smoke from that fire so far, but tonight it smells like everybody in town has their fireplace going. I'm going to have to close my windows, and the house really isn't cool enough yet. I hate the dry season.
