What the heck?
Suddenly Colorado is going up in flames,
and it seems to have happened within the last few days.

One of several places to look.

That one fire sounds really awful --
breaking all sorts of previous records for Colorado wildfires.
I know people in Durango,
and the fire is not there,
however they are painfully aware of how close it is.

My friends in Durango
are in little danger, knock on wood,
from the fires themselves.

The smoke, however,
has changed sunny days
into days which appear overcast
because the heavens have a ceiling of smoke.
And it messes with allergies as well, they tell me.

Southwest Colorado, according to my friend there,
woke up this morning to snowfall,
which in early September is relatively unusual there.
They will take it gladly, though, because
this follows record high heat as well as the fires issue.

Again, my friend's part of Colorado doesn't actually have the fire,
the fires are elsewhere in the state. Regardless,
"The last couple of days, the smoke has been so bad that the sun and moon were yellow and visibility was limited."

I've seen fire and I've seen snow
I've seen campers with no where left to go
I've seen Rap wear a sweater cuz its really so damn cold
But I never thought it be on the same day.

Just the CA fires have grown from Rhode Island size to Connecticut size. San Francisco skies are bright ORANGE. The fire there equals the last 12 fire seasons combined.

All Oxygen consuming fires helps the longslide down for global oxygen. Don't worry we can still survive on 19.5 % O2
The oceans however have dropped by 2%

Oregon sent firefightrs to CA and placed everyone on new rules of NO electric or gas mowers or vehicles in the dry areas but to no avail Oregon has large fires now. Washington State has lost towns to fire already. On the bright side you don't have to start a fire to make Smores. You just need an extra long stick to toast your marshmallows.

Now, San Juan County, with a region known as
Ice Lakes,
has a wildfire which began Monday.

So they are calling it the Ice Fire ...
