Stress relief is either Pabst Blue Ribbon or Johnny Walker Red Label, after a couple of either one I could care less. We're fortunate so far the nearest fire is about 12 or so miles North and West of us, it is actually getting into the old Biscuit burn, which may get pretty hot since there is so much low regrowth and the old dead stuff to burn.
The best part it isn't too close to populated areas. Though there may be a summer / hunting cabin here and there.
The smoke is variable and today the helicopters with dip buckets are busy I hear one over head as I type this and they pass here often as I'm only about 2 miles from the airport. The smoke has been making me cough and my eyes water and sting, but so far today it isn't so bad.
Grants pass has had it much worse than we have. My neighbor and his wife had business in GP 3 days ago and reported visibility less than a car length and the front page of the newspaper showed a photo that proved it out.
I still would rather experience this than tornadoes or hurricanes or earth quakes, because at least we have a little warning most of the time and can get out of the way, but those other disasters make it very hard to get away. Wow I typed all of that without a mistake I can't believe it!
OK so it's 4 o'clock here I'm not waiting. LOL
Bye y'all
Drunk Gabby or is that Drink Gabby
OH who cares?
