The day of Smoke....

Woke up yesterday, Labor Day the 4^th of Sept. smelling smoke in the house.. only to find out it was from outside. Looked up at the sun and it was bright red..  when I took the picture it didn’t look like it.. but to the naked eye… it was RED.  So we closed the windows, and doors.. Which was kind of sad as there was a nice breeze going thru. But it also brought smoke with it.  Pure hell for those who have breathing problems.. thankful, we don’t.. but my heart went out to those who do.

So the day was spend inside.. The King watching a movie and DEAD MAN CHANNEL… better know to others as MYTV.  Which shows just about every 1970 and 80 old western… Big  Valley, Gunsmoke, Rifleman.. well  you get the idea..    And I read some magazines and dabbled on Facebook… keeping up with where the smoke and the fires were. 

Seems like most of them are on the Montana – Idaho border. With a few smaller ones about 30 miles away.. and then there were some down south of us.. with more in Washington state.. But most of our smoke was coming from Montana will brisk 30 mph winds going NE… putting it right across our area.. all the way to Spokane and beyond. 

The air quality had hit 429 by 4pm.. But lowered down to 290 by 8pm.. still too high, but a lot better… the bad news is the air is going to stay right where it is.. due to the wind just going in circles…

And I won’t be blogging tomorrow, as I will be heading to Spokane to get my other eye surgery done. Cataract laser. At least this time should be faster.. as for time there.. only have the surgery and not all the evaluation and etc. So should be shorter by an hour and half.. It will be interesting to see how this comes out…  As wearing the same glasses on the new eye.. has had my stomach flipping…. Kind of like wearing someone else’s glasses..  So hoping this levels the playground of seeing.   So until I can see well again.. probably Thurs. if I am lucky.. other wise next Monday. 

 it looked a lot redder than this shows...
