kevin_standleeYesterday was a sufficiently haphazard day that I forgot to post anything at all, but it's nothing worth mentioning here, other than to say that Lisa and my schedules have gotten a bit disorganized and I'm reworking my days of use-it-or-lose it PTO lest I hit the buffer at 37.5 days maximum accumulation.
The smoke continues to come and go. It seems to be cutting the temperatures slightly, but I could still do without it. It was so thick a couple of days ago that more than just the nearby mountains and hills were vanishing.
Off in the distance (you can still see the billboard) is Interstate 80, which is a little over 500 m north of Fernley House. The camera did a better job of cutting through the haze and smoke than the naked eye did, as we could just barely make out passing vehicles.
A troubling thought I had when we had ash actually falling from the sky a while ago was that it was shortly after the town of Greenville (about 150 km northwest of us) had burned to the ground, which suggests to me that it was bits of Greenville we had falling on us in Reno and Fernley.
