Tru,
It was 70° here this morning at 2AM. And there is a real bad stink of smoke in the air. Some of the hot spots they are finding and putting out now. Kind of like when you burn brush and then pour water on any big logs or chunks that are still smoldering and get that smell. This will most likely go on for a wek or so as they find more of these things that will suddenly start smoking and burst into flames. But today is only supposed to be around the 107 mark if they got it right.
I try to keep my air set on 73 as the way my house is built the hot sun hits it from the minute it comes up over the mountains in the East until it sets in the West. On the really hot days I can't get the inside temperature below around 78 degrees. And I am really having trouble with my throat and lungs from all the smoke and ash I have breathed in, but so are most of the people that I talk to. Last year I went to the hardware store and bought one of those really cheap green tarps and hung it from the roof to the ground and that blocked the sun from hitting directly on the back wall all day and left an air space about 2 feet wide in there. Then the wind came up and that tarp shredded like confetti. I am going to get another one in the next day or so. No car today as I am having Jack check the brakes on it.
