For the past couple of months, when i travel out northwards from town, and on some days when the wind is coming from the north, i've been greeted with smoke. It's been coming from a fire burning near Crater Lake. Of course, some days, the whole basin was full of smoke and haze from fires burning in all directions... west (and i was never able to find out which ones those were), south (from Modoc, Shasta-Trinity, Lassen, areas). I don't think we ever caught any smoke from the one near Lakeview, but i can't say that for sure.
So today there was an article in the local paper about the the Bybee complex (the one near Crater Lake). This is the first time i've seen anything about that fire in our local paper. You would think they would have had something about it, considering it's been burning since the middle of July. But, with local papers, who knows. I beg them for work as a proofreader so they can stop embarassing themselves.

jeez, did i ever mention the dirt storm in the spring? We had a really windy day, one day, a dry one, and the air was just brown from dirt being blown around. From the farms? I have no idea what it was all from.
ReplyDeleteIf people believed our air was bad from industrial pollution they'd be fools. heh. I think the worst offender here is the asphalt plant on the south end of town, but its just stinky rather than particulate, i think.
