As I mentioned in a previous post, parts of central Utah are on fire, parts that are almost as big as entire states back there on that cluttered eastern portion of our country. And that fire is creating smoke, tons and tons of it. And that same smoke is causing the skies to be smoggy and the visibility severely limited here, a couple hundred miles from where the fire burns. It is amazing just how poor the visibility is right now.
I ran a short errand at lunch and driving off base, headed north, I was shocked to discover the level of visibility depleting smoke there was in our valley. Even the nearest mountains, just 4 to 5 miles east of where I was, were nearly invisible. You could see their bulk and shape through the smoke but you couldn't really see the mountains.
Its mighty ugly out there today.
