Let’s see. An email list comprised of just a few people filled with ignorance,
bigotry, and Marxist anti-American garbage. Uh, yeah, I think I’ll pass.

Maybe so.
God did send a Hell of a message when He smote Sodom
and Gomorrah. But God was not above using anything at hand. Like
grasshoppers, floods, earthquakes, and the Black Plague.
I often wonder if God wasn't just a little disappointed in His Son.
Jesus was much gentler than His Old Man.
But then, I'm still trying to figure Mary out. She claims to be the
mother of Jesus, but also the Mother of God. Sounds kinky to me.

Where we live the weather has been cooler and damper than in other parts of
the state and the Pacific Coast. We had an early Spring with the promise of
hot weather to follow. Instead we had a cool, damp couple of months. But
now, as Summer winds down, we've had several days of clear, dry weather with
temperatures ranging from the low 80's to the low 90's, along with low
humidity. In weather like that it doesn't take long for the ground cover to
dry out. But in spite of the state-wide ban on logging, I could hear the
chain saws in the distance, like a swarm of angry mosquitoes. If they start
up again today, we'll report that there appears to be illegal activity in or
near the National Forest.
Meanwhile we will keep the horses in our neighbor's large pasture.
They'll be safer there than in our smaller 3 acre pasture. Also, a bit
later this morning, I plan to call four neighboring families and make
certain we spread the word if there are any warnings to evacuate.
I just stepped outside and found the air has the smell and taste of a camp
fire. And as I said, that is without any wildfires nearby.
I turned on Thom Hartmann this morning. A local station plays his program
from the day before, so Thom was remarking on yesterday's air quality. He
lives in Portland, and said the Sun looked like an orange ball. Again,
Portland is at the upper edge of Oregon, on the Columbia river, and most of
the fires are burning well South of the city. We live a good 180 plus miles
North of Portland, with only a scattering of small fires between here and
there. And still the air stinks. In fact, yesterday's air quality in
Portland was reported to be the worst air quality on the planet.

I was listening to a report about how very dry it has been in areas of
California for a long period of time which is why fires start so
easily. Has it been very dry with no rain where you live, for a long
time?

No fires, but I can taste the smoke, and it smells a bit like the
inside of a cigarette butt. The state has shut down all logging and all
burning.
Still, if fire breaks out we will lose just about everything. But as
far as I know, the entire Olympic Peninsula is free of any fires. I
worry more about the Central Washington where my daughter and her
husband live. Jen works out of her home at the moment, but still has
to make daily runs into the Central University's business office. Jen
has Rheumatoid Arthritis and she is also diabetic. Don, her husband
has Parkinson's, and can no longer drive.
It was a clear hot day yesterday and today, with the same forecast for
the next several days.
Our access road is nearly a quarter of a mile long, but when we reach
Snow Creek Road we can go several directions, depending on where fire
might be blocking escape.

Carl,
Are there fires anywhere near you now?
