I think there will be more smiles when the smoke clears. <\/strong><\/p>\n

I can’t get any updates on the fire today from any of the three government sites. I drove into the village to pick up freight, then to town to pick up a few groceries. The smoke was tolerable until I headed back. Visibility on the highway was only about 500 feet. The cell phone camera doesn’t do well with smoke. I mean, it doesn’t capture it as it is.<\/p>\n

I kept a mask on the entire trip, I didn’t think it was doing much till I took it off for a few seconds. After experiencing the smell and choking a bit. I put it back on.<\/p>\n

I got the groceries and freight home, got Gracie back in her home unloaded, and went up to the least smoky room in the house.<\/p>\n

I worked on my tiny house design for a few hours, while the solar was producing. I will have to quit soon. I will update the pics from my phone later. They really do not show how thick the smoke really is.<\/p>\n

\nThese sat pics shows infra red from a few days ago and now. But the fire is still billowing smoke and they say it will for a few weeks. Really looking forward to the rain sunday that should wash away some of the smoke.<\/p>\n
