Who's bombing my mountains?
I headed south on Oracle Road this morning for work and had a nasty surprise. There was this big cloud dead ahead of me, over the mountains. And a long plume of it hanging down. Only, a couple minutes' inspection made me realize that plume wasn't going down, it was coming up. And the cloud wasn't cloud--it was smoke.
The Santa Rita mountains are on fire, south of Tucson. People think it will be a beneficial fire, clearing out fifty years of underbrush. But it still looks like somebody dropped a bomb. Though a much smaller bomb than the Aspen fire on Mt. Lemon (in the Catalina mountains) in 2003.
My eyes have itched all day from the smoke.

Too bad about the fire. Glad it wasn't an out of control fire at least.
Its sad about that other mountain too as I heard you & my Erik had a very "good & cuddly" time on that mountain all night long time ago.

Hope your day was a good one :)
