Right now, here too, Pamy. I couldn't sleep at 6 so I got up and got some laundry done before it got way too hot. The pool will be calling my name today.

RN its a grey, overcast 73 degrees here in Buffalo. I'll take it over the 90s we had for a few days. RN in keeping with the 70s theme of the daily poll I'm blasting "She Works Hard for the Money" from my computer. LOL RN Pamy, don't worry about it! I miss stuff all the time and don't know how I did. LOL

RN I love my husband. I have to remember that cuz he's being rather inconsiderate. He asked me the other day if I minded if he went fishing this morning, I said not as all as long as he's back on time (we've got to leave in less than an hour to spend a little time at my nieces party then be at Kota's team party at 2.) He said no way would they be fishing too late, it's going to be too hot. Now here we are needing to leave soon and he hasn't even called to let me know what's going on.

Right now ... it is white & smokey outside from the a fire burning on the edge of Solano County and Napa. I'm thinking of Landi & Merrysea and wondering how it's affecting the both of you. Hugs!! More than 1,000 acres have burned in a fire near Wild Horse Valley Road in the east Napa hills. CalFire is responding to the fire, which is currently straddling the Napa / Solano county border. Voluntary evacuations are in effect for the Solano County side.

Right now, I'm just getting online for the first time today (shock!), so I just saw this post. I haven't had any TV on today, either, other than for watching DVD's. I didn't know anything about the fire; my son and I took a little walk around 3 or 3:30, and I didn't notice any smoke or dark sky. Of course, it's windy today, so maybe the breeze is blowing in the right direction for me.

Right now, my godmother lives in Fairfield and she said the skies been awful looking all day. My daughter, her boyfriend and his parents went to Napa today to some wineries and they said you couldn't tell there was a fire anywhere.

RN, I was cleaning my room and found all the stuff from back when I went to camp for almost a month for counsellor training back in 2002. It brought back some great memories, including often updates I wrote on this message board in my folder to keep people updated. LOL That was 6 years ago!! Man, times flies...

Right now, I think I may have a photo of Neko at camp that I saved from when she was a counselor. Sure doesn't seem like six years, that is for sure.

Right now, I'm glad the heat wave broke, because as soon as I tried to open the window this morning, I smelled the smoke from the fire Vacanick posted about yesterday.

right now, we havent' been able to breathe in napa due to the smoke. mamie, if elizabeth went to some wineries, they didn't go to napa, but went up valley where it was clear. this is truly over the NAPA city border on the east side. Jamison Canyon is just a smoke fest. down by the airport today, it is awful trying to breathe. it hurts your lungs.

RN, LOL Juju! I don't even think I have that many pictures of myself from camp! Haha I need to hook up my scanner and start scanner all my photos so I can have digital copies just in case or something. I've got a big folder with as many negatives of my photos as I could find, but who knows how many photos that actually is. RN, I hope the fires don't end up displacing anyone!! We had a big fire up here a week ago (big for us that is) and we ended up evacuating 5000 people (or was it 5000 families??). Either way, luckily, only 2 houses and a garage ended up being lost.

RN congrats to your son Sportsfan! RN I love the fact that my 12 year old, ya know the one who shrugs off hugs if anyone might possible be nearby and gives a half hearted "see ya mom" when I drop him off at school, still asks to be tucked in every night.

RN, Yay to Sportsfan. They grow up so fast, don't they? Wargod, how sweet. I still remember dropping off DS and if I just looked in the wrong direction he would have a cow. RN2, Don't forget to wish Sportsfan a Happy Belated Birthday or as I like to call it Happy Birthday Week!

RN: I feel like I smoked 10 packs of cigarettes. The air is so bad here in YC that it's actually orange outside. My youngest DD can barely breathe because of it and both my kids are sick due to the nasty air.

RN Debra, that's pretty much our mornings at school, lol. RN Escapee I don't know if you're doing it or not, but if not, if you have to take the kids out in that crap tie a bandana around their heads to cover their noses/mouths. It's not much but it does help (course it doesn't help with keeping it out of your house, not much to do about that.) Last time we had a big fire here I ended up sitting in the ER with Dakota getting breathing treatments and we did everything we could from keeping her inside all day to the bandana to not running the swamp cooler even though it was sweltering hot and not much helped with that.

RN, would a hepa air purifier help out with the inside irritants? I see one on this page (air purifiers for allergies) that specifically says it comes with an optional "smokestop" filter. It may cost $399, but if you have a child with allergies or you deal with smoke like you are now, it might really help you out. http://www.allergybuyersclub.com/compare-air.html ETA: you know, if you have a child with severe allergies, check with your health insurance company about whether they would purchase this for you with a physician's prescription and letter of justification.

RN: My kids do not have severe allergies, but they do have summer colds thanks in large part to my kid brother who showed up at my house a week ago with a rockin cough and stuffy nose. He thought the fires in Redding were causing his allergies to get worse (he lives up that way) and then he cleared up within a couple days of staying with me, but now that my girls have the same thing as him, I know he was sick and it was not allergies. I have an air purifier, I plugged it in last night, and the doc said to use a vaporizer too at night to help clean out their lungs.
