The smoke is hitting us down here in Pullman already. Really nasty...

The national news on TV makes is sound as if Spokane is in the middle of hell. Our fires, while moderately large, so far are mainly smokey and in pretty rural areas. One of the bigger ones is in wheat fields.

Thanks for the thought Eddie.

Dave...next time put that stogie out and don't toss it out the hole in the back of your trailer home. You could burn the whole park down if you're not careful.

This is my single favorite road to ride this morning. Could not upload my HDR pano pics but there was a significant burn.

Here it is on my Facebook page.

I didn't see anything about (potential) causes for the 4(?) fires. Anyone hear?

It's pretty danged smoky...too much for me to ride for now.

The only cause I've seen is a downed power line for the fire southeast of town.

Cigars and flaming Tequila, the answer to life's issues!

I heard a downed power line from the strong winds that passed though yesterday. At least the one I took shots of.
