The Sky was Yellow

There's a big fire burning in Sycamore Canyon, and the smoke is so heavy that the sky is yellow here in town. Not good for breathing.

Damn. We drove back up from PHX this afternoon and hit the rim climb right at sunset. Haven't seen a glow like that for a couple of years, since the fire on old 66 a few years ago. Luckily, the wind was still, but the forecast says gusts as high as 30 mph tomorrow, so I hope they're calling every available crew out.

Whole house smells like smoke now (9:40 PM); you just know this is going to blanket the town overnight and play hell with folsk with respiratory problems.

I have a feeling that we'll both be hitting our inhalers today. Breathing; it's the one addiction I've never gotten over.
