Boy, Albuquerque has caught holy heck in the past few days…The fires burning in Southeastern Arizona and maybe some from Silver City have sent plenty of smoke towards Albuquerque. A few times last week it seemed like our own neighborhood was on fire the smoke was so thick. I walked down the cul-de-sac checking to see which house was burning, it was that strong. Shortly after my stroll, the TV reported the smoke from the forest fires. Since that time we have had a few bad days but none as bad as that first day. The winds today seem to be coming from that direction again, so we may have to stay indoors for a while. Still, I’m not complaining..It is nothing compared to the folks in Tuscaloosa or Joplin. We do worry about the people near the Alpine, AZ, Luna, NM and Silver City, NM fires and hope they are doing ok. I don’t think there has been any loss of life yet in either fire….It has been a pretty tough year so far, huh? So much going on, the floods, storms, fires and e-coli outbreak…..Wonder did Mr. Camping get a new date for the rapture yet? It would be something if he was off by two weeks or so…..I’m kidding, Mr. Camping don’t know….We know who knows…..He that is  I AM, knows…..
