Not sure if smoke is bad or very bad or just getting used to it. Do know it is bad down in Sutherlin whenever I go to town for groceries, etc. Not a drop of rain yet, maybe Thursday to Friday, will believe it when I see it. So far we are 10 inches behind on rainfall for this water year, unless we get some between now and the end of the month. With a La Nina winter predicted we are in the middle of a wet north and a dry south.
A collection of stories from the life of Michael Burke. He worked for the Forest Service in Alaska, California, and Oregon. He lives in Oakland, OR. His wonderful wife, Celia, passed in May of 2021
