Fred,
I am still sick form all the smoke and ash and my nerves are a mess but at least I am up and around in the house. The news is urging everyone to stay inside that doesn't have to be out. I could smell burning rubber really strong last night so something burnt that had rubber. Maybe cars or an old building. I haven't heard the latest update this morning, but at least the major fires are now going away from me. The valley is still covered with smoke and you can only see where the sun is, but that is keeping our temperatures down to the 105/114 level instead of the 117 that was supposed to happen. After over 3 weeks of nothing but smoke and ash, I am tired of this and would love to see a clear day. We have had huge fires before but never has the valley been covered by smoke for over a few days at a time before. I need to go up to Shasta and play in the Glaciers.
