Is it like the one from a few years ago, or do they think they'll get this one under control?

How far away are you? You're not in a place where you'd worry about anything besides the smoke if it did get bad, are you?

I remember that fog. It was amazing how far south it got and how thick it was still by the time it got here.

From what I'm hearing the smoke has largely missed us because it's not coming down as far south so far as they thought it would. That could change at any second though.

Thanks for the heads up in the tags though. Good lookin' out.

Hope you get some rain soon.

Stay safe, Brenda. You're pretty densely urban around you, aren't you? Like a lot of concrete and the trees are really just there for decoration?

You get yourself stocked up in case you need to stay inside to avoid the smoke for a few days?

How's your cooling situation? Do you know somebody who has A/C that you could stay for a while if you need to and you don't have your own? I always think of ice when I think of Canada and I know that's stupid, but is A/C pretty common up there or more of a rarity?

Is your water from the tap good, or do you need to stock up on some water?

I'm seeing one of them arrested was an 18 year old woman "from the Cree Nation".

They're saying the other one is a 36 year old man from a place called "Pelican Narrows".

Both of them said to be unrelated to each other. The only variance on this story that I've seen has been that there may have been 2 men involved in the case of the guy who got arrested. No names or any other information given that I can tell yet.


I've been doing some serious looking into it and I haven't found anything more out. All the articles that even say that much are all copy and paste jobs and basically say the same thing, and I think they're all copying a story by The Canadian Press News. (Are they a legit outfit? I don't read much Canadian news and have no objective opinion of them).

I wouldn't know how to try to access any public records in Canada and honestly with the way this wacky world is all topsy-turvy at the moment I don't think it would behoove me to try to learn about it right now, if ya get me.



I remember when people didn't intentionally set forests on fire and burn 7,000+ homes down.

We got to get back to that again.

Keep your head up. We will.
