Smokey

As you may have heard, there is an enormous wildfire here right now AND a heat wave with temperatures over 100. Lovely stuff. We have been trying to stay inside as much as possible to avoid the horrid air. The result is a lot of stir-crazy, sticky folks in our (seemingly) shrinking apartment. At one point today, I opened the apartment door to let our visiting neighbor out. A moment later Tim wandered out of the bedroom to see if something was burning on the stove. We both laughed as he realized his error & remembered that outdoors was the real source of the smokey stench.

Taken today in our neighborhood:

We could even see the flames after dark from Sarah & Gaurav's balcony tonight. Hoping that both the fires and heat wave settle down soon.
