A Yummy Something in May
Well, I’m glad I lunched when I did. Not even ten minutes after I left the deck out back and got to my desk smoke from the Hewlett Gulch fire started wafting in whenever anyone came in or out of the building. The fire is about 20 miles outside of town on the opposite side from work. I wasn’t expecting to smell it over here.
The wind has really picked up and the skies look overcast, but for the most part it is just smoke. I’m thinking biking to work tomorrow is probably not in the cards. I took precautions yesterday, being sure I showered and shampooed my hair as soon as I got home to get smoke out of my hair before bed and what not. But my eyes are red and stinging and my throat is sore from drainage. Even if the wind has changed in our favor by morning there is no telling if it will remain so.
I’m a little worried how bad it is at our house (about 6 miles closer to the fire than work) and how hot the house got today as we won’t be able to open windows to cool things down this evening :-/
Once again it was human caused. I really wish people respected our dry climate and used common sense more often.
