fire update

okay... nothing really new. the closest fire (the one in the pics) is not doing a whole lot. they say there are about 1500 homes in danger of it tonight, but we don't seem to be one of them. today, that fire only spread 2000 acres (it's now a 72000 acre fire) and NO homes were lost from THAT fire today. there is the other fire north and east of us, but we seem to be far enough away.

i can't even see as far as the flames or clouds from the pictures i last put up. it's definitely hazy and smoky here. we have our air recirculating in our house, and i can't smell smoke. david said he could smell it a little when he took the trash out.

so, that's the update. i will try to write more as things change. it is definitely devastating to the north and east... so far, friends and their homes are all safe.
