Sitting here housebound today since I do not like the idea of venturing out in our certified Very Unhealthy smoke infused air with 1 1/4 mile visibility.   Glancing out the window my neighbor is mowing his lawn.   Good grief!  Me I am pondering the cause for this new annual 5th season.  Over the years the quality of air caused by fires has dramatically gotten worse during the Dog Days of Summer.  Can’t say if the actual number of fires has increased.  My thinking is that there is significantly more fuel for fires once started.  Could that be do to grazing and forest management restrictions?  Just a thought.

Oh, silly me I am sure it is all because of global warming.

Carry on.
