Nothing funny here today I'm afraid.
We have a major forest fire happening in our city Saturday and today. I actually saw the first plumes of smoke - I was out on the deck trying to avoid some of the tasks assigned by my wife! These pictures are taken from my deck, looking west across the lake at the early stages of the fire.
About 10,000 people have been evacuated from across the lake - we'll be signing up to receive people that need a place to stay.
A few houses have been lost but thankfully no one has been hurt.
This harks back to 2003 when a major fire burned over 200 homes on this side of the water. My house stands on a site that was burned in that fire.
The smoke that I'm smelling now is not happy camp fire smoke. It stinks.
Sorry - sad day. No time for much more but I'll try and work on some happier stuff later.
Take care everyone.
