Speaking of Bobcat, in the 1/2 mile visibility from the smoke from the Bobcat fire, a feline Bobcat decided to clear my backyard of squirrels and other small snacks about 1/2 hour ago.

Here's a Sunday morning post.

Cheers.

Smoke from the Cali fires is in the skies over Oklahoma. The weather dude was showing the view from space of the weather flow pattern with the smoke.

Posting after an extended Sunday LLB while eyeing off what to have with an enormous BBQ lamb chop for dinner. ;-)

Cheers.

Eat part of it, save the rest for leftovers I'd guess.

Shirley you jest Vic? I'll need the energy to start tackling my weed yard tomorrow (unless a random trip into town happens).

But peas, corn, beans and carrots will definitely go long with it, it's just the decision between a bit of mash potato, rice or pasta to round it out with is what I'm still tossing up.

I know, I'll have another beer and that should make my decision clearer. ;-)

Cheers.

Good morning win.

Hmmmmm.........
Will that smoke manage to complete its march across the USA before hitting the "big ditch" of the Atlantic????????

From the comfort of being several thousand miles away I can only imagine how scary it must be on the doorstep of the fires.

Well the smoke from last year's bushfires here actually did a complete lap of the southern globe. :-(

Cheers.

Winds keep shifting. The smoke was heading west a few days ago.


Scary, not so much. but it has gone on so long that people are starting to get sick. I did a little yard work yesterday and had to quick due to my hacking cough.

Scary to Me was a made up submarine in the 1960's with all sorts of monsters.

Lightning hits tall trees or whatever else is tall.

All that smoke is going down to Southern California and is going to Oklahoma. Hopefully not for long.
