Today not only the planes have been flying over the house but the copters have been flying directly over the house too, yesterday the copters were taking a different route. Must be some great air traffic control out there on the fire line. I took this photo standing on our deck. All day some sort of aircraft was going over the house, sometimes every minute, sometimes every 5 minutes. Then it stopped.........until just now - must have been a change of shift, or dinner break. It's really un-nerving to not be able to get up to the minute updates on what's happening on this fire close to us, I keep seeing updates on other fires including some new ones but not much on ours.
This morning I went to the fairgrounds to help set up our display - we'll be sitting there spinning during the fair, talking to the public, eating fair food and having a great time. Since then I've tried to get some stitching done on the little holiday stocking ornaments but keep getting sidetracked with fire activity.
Have I said it yet today - I hate fire season.........oh yes, I think I've said it several times but this is the first time here today............
We had two fires erupt here today, one less than a half mile, likely from that strike a couple days ago. Amazing how they can smolder for days. The second one some asshat decided to light a slash pile on fire. OMFG!
ReplyDeleteI heard about a couple fires over that way but I wasn't sure exactly where they were. I can't believe someone would light a slash pile at this time of year - I hope he gets charged and gets presented with a bill for fire suppression.
