Where There's Smoke, There's Smoke


Just before we went to bed last night, we saw on the news that all the high winds we'd been suffering through all day had apparently turned some brush fires into what are known as "major brush fires." Moyock is on fire. Well, not just Moyock, as there are a number of fires that were started all along the Virginia/North Carolina border.

What does that mean for us? It means that it's very foggy outside right now, except that it isn't fog. It's very reminiscent of when I lived in Orlando during the forest fires of 1998. Everything smells like smoke. It's like you're standing next to a campfire but there's no way to avoid having the smoke get in your eyes.

Maybe we need to move even further south.
