Hi Lark, I thought you were in Oregon? Are you back in this region? I'm asking because while I certainly didn't go through the extent of loss that you did, I definitely felt the effects of that particular fire. Being under fire watch and the month after month after month of heavily smoky air/ash. To this day I occasionally find ash dust in cracks inside my car.
So I don't know where you are, but after about 5 weeks over 100-plus (up to 118!) we're finally, finally down to around 90 and do have some fresh air that has come this way from the coast. Still, there is a haze from the Mosquito fire.
