Holy smokes!

When I walked outside briefly tonight while I was at work, I felt the wind gusting and smelled the smell of smoke in the air. It was enough to make a person uneasy. Later, I took a break, and back in the break room the local news people on the television were reporting fires, fires, and more fires. After work, I came down to Sauced to have some pizza and look at the Internet.

The Associated Press reported that Dozens of homes burn as fires scorch Texas, Okla. I also found that the Muskogee Phoenix had reported this afternoon that I-35 was closed in north central Oklahoma because of the fires. Scary stuff. I wish there was something useful I could say. It's enough to make a person hope for rain, snow, and unseasonably cold temperatures.
