I think were fairly OK except for air quality. They're setting a backfire as I write just over the ridge about 3/4 mile away. No wind, so I expect it to work.

Canadian air tankers are expected to be making dropsa very shortly. Thank you all. And thank everyone for their good wishes.

I am asthmatic, but so far no problem, but I think I'll try to get a prophylactic steriod injection, and beat it the hell out of Dodge for a couple of day.

To Joe, and all the rest of you folks in fire areas wherever you are, my prayers are with you, too.
