Wildfires

We are having four of the worst wildfires we've had in many years in steep areas very difficult to contain though hundreds of great firefighters are working so hard. Lots of wind and lightning keeping the planes down. Smoke covering the Front Range and now coming from California.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Californians who are suffering so much, losing their beautiful land and structures and grieving for those who have died.

It reminds my of China - eyes sting, hard to breathe and brutally hot and dry.
