And it was so good to see "skinny" Sally. Wow, she lost a person! Had some great laughs with her and Mary Tripp. A fire is burning about 20 miles north of here and I saw a lot of smoke yesterday. The winds have changed to due south and lighter today so the smoke is going in a different direction. Heard another fire has started 18-20 miles WNW from here. Cloudy today but I think by the scent it is a smokey cloud. Glad we have 3 vehicles....at least there is room to pack all dogs up and move out if necessary, but am not expecting it to come to that. Keep safe everyone.
