If once they get the fires extinguished, how long before the skies
would clear. I am just wondering, would this force the smoke off to
another direction?
The night I was out I saw 4 sporadics, one was a 0, the rest 1 & 2"s.
It was a gorgeous night to be out. The frogs and loons were calling
in the backround, the mosquitoes buzzing in my ears. I could have
stayed out and slept there all night, but I liked to have some blood
the next day.
Sorry I missed the chat last night everyone.
