They say there are 800+ wildfires burning in different parts of Northern California right now. Yesterday we began to smell the smoke and see the smoky haze in Reno. Today it's even worse. In fact, you can't even see more than a faint outline of most of the Sierra Nevada mountain range on the west side of Reno the smoke is so bad. They're encouraging people to stay indoors as much as possible to avoid breathing the smoky air and it probably won't get any better until Thursday or later. Please pray for rain in the areas affected by the fires, for the firefighters and for the people and animals directly affected by the fires and thick smoke in California. It looks to be another record-breaking year of fires in CA/NV. (photo is of smoke from a fire near Watsonville, CA about 90 miles south of San Francisco)

It breaks my heart to see the fires just getting worse and worse everyday on the evening news. I, too, pray that the rain comes soon and that it downpours for a couple of days. I figure that if engineers can build an oil pipeline from Alaska through Canada, surely they can build a much smaller version of hoses from the MW to the W end of the country ?! Just a thought ;) I know we'd love some of the rain water from the Midwest, too.
