Ashes to ashes.

LegalAlien · 08-28-2009, 10:27 AM

I left my bike outside overnight, something I never do, and when I looked at her I thought

? It was covered with grey speckles, at closer examination I noticed that, luckily, I could blow them off. It's ashes from the fires here. The whole valley is smokey, you can see it and smell it and at night, when you look at the moon, it is all orangy. It reminds me of the big McLure fire we had here a couple years ago, we were on evacuation alert and were without water and electricity for weeks. Brrrr, I don't want to go that route again.

Isn't a ride to Clearwater a weekend trip?

For a normal person, yes! But for those Ultra Iron Butt type people (I don't want to mention names here, but her name starts with "D" and ends with "e") 1000+ km on one day is peanuts.

And vertically is not the only way I am challenged.......hanging out with smart a$$ people like you clearly demonstrate me also being "mentally challenged".....

I unfortunately have to admit that it used to be "peanuts"....but now (not because of my age....of course) it's a little more like "cashews".
But bring them on..........I like them a lot!!

Ain't that funny.....I did the same for the very first time in I can't even remember how long. And I to, was wondering about these grey??? But not being used to "fires"....I just now understood what exactly it was.
