Think Bob's smoke is coming from Ontario's wildfires although the blazes out west have managed to get smoke to the east coast before. We are having a real issue with fires this year

Yesterday we had special air statements because of northern wildfires. Hop skip and jump to get to coast from Toronto.


The new normal.

Crikey, that's coming from a long way. Shouldn't be surprised though as we often get sand from the Sahara.

The forest are filled with fuel, the air is hot and dry, perfect conditions.



We have a forest near by. Hasn't had a fire in 100 years. All kinds of dead trees hanging off living trees. The definition of a bonfire.


Thankfully we still get rain bit one day, look out.

Glad to hear mother nature is giving you a helping hand.

From what I've been seeing, things are pretty dry on the W coast, critical levels in all the reservoirs.

Hey, about that post in the funny pictures room, I seriously have to wonder if Wally World ever takes down the Christmas stuff all the way.

A couple years back me & my Wife were in the store around this time of year & walking up the aisle I looked down one & saw a small section with Christmas stuff. I pointed it out to her & she looked at it, shook her head & said either they put it up early or they never took it down all the way. It wouldn't surprise me if they kept a small section of it up all year.

Not here, it from the fires on the west coast.

"Much like yesterday [Monday], the sunshine may be filtered or appear hazy due to smoke from distant wildfires out west."

Ah ok. That makes sense.

Yesterday Barb and I went for a walk and a house not that far away had their Christmas lights up and a wreath over the window.


It looked silly but I guess it is the easiest route. ( or should I say lazy route.)

Not surprising what you saw. There's people around here that leave the lights up year round. Some even turn them on every night.

Our cases are starting to rise in the area again. Looks like we made a good call to get the hospital office visit over with. She has an appt on Thur, but not at the hosp thank heavens. Her monthly visit for pain meds because of the neuropathy.

Hello Bree

Yes case counts rising all over the place. My town has very could counts, a number of days with zero. Of course it is early, we just reopened.


We've had really good update on vaccines. 81% started, 66% fully vaccinated.


​

Just about to hit 70% overall. These numbers are likely low because people like me who started outside theregion aren't counted as done.

Yepp, Pretty much everywhere, cases are going up. Saw that Japan is under a state of emergency due to rising cases. What a great time to have a Olympic gathering....during a pandemic....

Add to the fact that kids are going back to school within a month, kids that can't be vaxed yet but they'll be running around in close contact. The argument is that kids rarely get sick but somehow I doubt that's going to be any consolation to the people/parents when they bring the virus home.
