days of haze

Remember the post with the mention of an awesome thunder and lightning show on Friday night? Well, that turned into some not so awesome forest fires, and today, the entire town was covered in a thick, yellowish brown haze. It was kinda like living in a city, only it smelled better (like campfires!). Everything had this yellow glow to it, like when the Sun starts sinking in the sky, but it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, so it was definitely kinda weird and Twilight Zone-ish. Tonight should prove to have an awesome sunset, as the fires are out West, and that is obviously where the Sun sets. I am going to set my alarm clock so I can remember to head back up to work (for a great view of the hills and sunset), and take some pictures. Hopefully I'll have something new and fun to put up soon!

But, I've been up since 5am and am in need of a nap or maybe just laying around and watching some television. I bought an awesome new fan for my bedroom because it gets sweltering hot in there at night, so hopefully that will help.

Well, the sunset wasn't as pretty as I thought it was going to be...but I remember back when I was living in Gillette, and there were lots of fires over the summer...even in the mornings, the Sun was bloodred...it was really cool. But way too hot.
