Naw, we don't need any water, just yet. We're getting water from the wells all right. I understand they closed the water treatment plant because they had to evacuate all the chlorine cylinders they had stored there.

I don't have a very good view to the SW, where all the smoke is coming from, but it's coming over the hill pretty good. I may go out and take a pic with my digital camera for you guys. Too bad I can't give you a taste of the smoke in the air as well.

Here's a pic from a Portland TV station. Sometimes they show the distant camera view and I see they're also showing some stills from their helicopter cam sometimes.

I've got a fire-pit in my backyard. I'll look at your pic after starting a "recreational" fire so that I can emphasize.
