If you just glanced, you might think it was only a weird low cloud hugging the horizon. But it is actually smoke. I'm so anxious. My fear is that some moron out there firing up the grill will spark a fire in my neighborhood. We made a list on the white board of what to throw in the cars, things like the cats and the backup hard drive. The uncertainty of it all is hard on my head. My mind won't stop turning things over. The pictures don't help.

When I look at the radar, you can see all the clouds and moisture drifting away west and east. We remain, lonely and dry. The only cloud on the map over Texas is actually the smoke fromt he Bastrop fires.

In more mundane news, Pumpkin destroyed my kitchen mat and now I need to find another. Of course they don't make the one I had anymore. Alas pears.

That really sucks - I'm very sorry. I'm imagining with the drought going on so long the state is pretty combustible. Stay safe, and look after each other!

Don't drive unless you know there's a safe route out of your neighbourhood.

Do you have a checklist like this?
