Tuesday... The winds keep shifting, so some days are worse than others, but I don't dare open the windows overnight even when it cools off. One morning, I smelled smoke so strongly, I was convinced my own was on fire.

Only 10% contained after all this time. It is really devastating.

I feel bad for those who live in Ft. Collins that has to deal with that. I remember the Heyman fire and the orange haze for days....

Speaking of which, it is the 10th anniversary this year...
