blech - fires starting early

we had two small fires nea I-10 and the San Pedro in the last few days, now we seem to have a big one somewhere in Mexico or at least the other side of the Whetsones from where I am.
the smoke has been pretty bad this afternoon.

the grasshoppers decimated about a 1/4 mile circle around the headquarters last fall and the cows have trimmed most of what was grown last summer by now. BUT we will breathe smoke for a few weeks, I guess.

oh well a change of pace from skunk

but we're getting into the part of the year where a lot of us can barely breathe, the smoke from AZ gets so bad.

I can vaguely smell smoke out there already, don't know where it's from.
