I'm sitting here in my office, listening to the planes and copters dropping retardant and water on the wildfire on the hill immediately west of town -- and the Library. Great view, and that's ALL I want of it.

The hill doesn't seem to have a name, so we're calling it "Old Smokey." But I can identify with Peace and Open mic about wildfires. This is not the first one I've seen first hand, but it's the closest, being maybe 1.5 miles away.
