2. I hear ya!

It's awful over here in Central Oregon, too. We're inundated with smoke from the Grant County ever-growing fire, the County Line 2 (Warm Springs) fire north of here, and probably the WA and NE OR fires as well. Plus those west and south of here, no doubt. Too bad we can't stop the fumes at the border! I heard on NPR this morning that Portland was next on the hit list. Not only distressing but very sad for our beautiful state.

Take care and stay well. As my mother used to say, this too shall pass.

Peace.
