Right now, there is a huge fire in the mountains about forty miles east of us. Then probably that much further east, there is another, bigger fire. To the south in Oregon, there is another one, started by teenagers playing with fireworks. It is about 15,000 acres and today jumped the Columbia River from Oregon into Washington.
Again, I cannot see Mount Rainier and you could hardly see the sun today. There is coatings of ash on everything. Tonight, the moon is so orange it looks like a pumpkin!
Here is a picture from earlier to show you just how bad it is......
