Where I'm at right now, it smells like the fire is right next door.

My Canada fishing crew left this morning for northern Ontario without me. As long as the wind doesn't shift and come from the east, they'll be fine.  If it does shift, then the float plane won't be able fly since they're limited to VFR (or whatever the Canuck equivalent is).

I'm waiting on pictures from the road.  They're spending tonight in Virginia, Minnesota and it looks like they'll drive through it, be clear at the hotel, then drive through it again before crossing at International Falls.

I was worried about breathing in the air and then saw that a whole day outside is only the equivalent of smoking 10 cigarettes. People acting like the city is blanketed in Zyklon B. Cancelled beach volleyball, travel advisories. So silly.

I'm around Fort Wayne and we have some haze. I try to stay in if possible. Everyone,listen to your body on this issue. Some get affected more than others. Be safe 


While I regarded God as a tyrant I thought my sin a trifle; But when I knew Him to be my Father, then I mourned that I could ever have kicked against Him. When I thought God was hard, I found it easy to sin; but when I found God so kind, so good, so overflowing with compassion, I smote upon my breast to think that I could ever have rebelled against One who loved me so, and sought my good.” C. H. Spurgeon
