Sorry y'all!! Portland was much busier and exhausting than I thought and was on the road allllll day yesterday. And today, dealing with busy work day from being mostly out this week and then also this nightmare this afternoon:

The smoke is so bad here you can't go outside, literally cannot breathe without a good mask on. And even though I've kept the windows and doors closed today except for dog potty breaks, it's smelling more and more like smoke inside the house and I'm trying to deal with that since reports are that this is likely to stay this way for a few more days, especially since conditions at the fires are getting worse. It's bad news bears y'all. I'm also going to spend this evening trying to see how to get supplies to the crews north of here and see how I can help with the folks dealing with all of the displaced pets and farm animals. Rain check on this as soon as we literally get some rain here and this shit gets better. Sorry!
I left Livingston Montana, and there was smoke from Bozeman to Enumclaw.
I've never seen anything like it.
The Chelan fire just got massive, relatives losing their property.
Hopefully no more firefighters die.
It's a sad season, and the worst case scenario after a PNW summer that basically began in April.
