Repent! End times are near!


 
This was taken from my driveway today, at exactly noon.
 
There are no clouds in the sky. It's sunny and 81 deg F.  But it's like walking around with yellow-tinted sunglasses - there is no color to anything except this sepia-tinted yellow. It was even weirder at sunrise this morning.
 
What you're seeing is the smoke from wildfires 200 miles away in British Columbia and Eastern Washington.
 
Maybe someone from Houston could post the view out their backdoor, to cheer me up.

All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    We're near the Oregon/Washington border (which is the Columbia River) about a third of the way in from the left, with Portland just a bit southeast and across the river.  Right where some the thickest accumulation of smoke is along the river...

    Besides. I'm more of a mild annoyance than a full on sinner.

    I like when the sky is black from a storm but the clouds open up a little and let the sun through, making all the rooftops shine. Kind of makes me think I'm in a dream.

    Just heard from my boss, he's headed over to his parent's house to help them evacuate (his Mom cuts my hair).  The house I lost in the credit crunch is now under evacuation level 1 (get ready).  I had no idea the fire had gone West that fast, but they said it went 13 miles in 16 hours and the smoke is so bad that there's no air support.  Needless to say, that means the fire is 0% contained and it's even jumped across the river to Washington.
     
    I literally just did a job two weekends ago where I had to go out to Cascade Locks three days in a row via Highway 84 on the Oregon side, cross the Bridge of the Gods and return via Highway 14 on the Washington side.  I can't believe a lot of the trees I drove by are now gone...  They were able (so far) to save the historic Multnomah Falls Lodge, but many of Oregon and Washington's biggest attractions are in jeopardy.

    Hi,
     
    It was so bad here at Triangle Lake (see pic's on the net) that on Saturday and Sunday, you could not see across the lake! 
     
    I wanted to take a picture, but thought ... nahhhh ... best remembered without it.
     
    The hardest part, though, was the heat over the weekend ... it was bad around here!
