Too damn smokey in the valley to walk yesterday or today! Visibility down to just over a mile....

...from forest fires all over Oregon and Washington. Winds blowing into valley from the east, growing fire to the west about 20 miles. You've seen it on the news, the news having a tendency to be overblown, but what you see is accurate this time. Raging fires due to dry fodder, consistently higher winds, resources to fight fire less than is needed. Seems like the slightest spark can set off an area due to drought we've been having. It ain't pretty......
