oh wow, I was just vicariously enjoying the freedom of the open road when I noticed it was smoke... anything serious?

@dieter It is a very serious fire :( It is on track to being the state of Colorado's largest wildfire ever. 180+ homes have burned, 1 death, and it is not even close to being contained. They are saying it'll be winter before it is fully out. We're in a pretty bad drought right now, and the weather has been hot hot hot

@hmgphotos I've been in a bit of a news-free bubble lately ;) And the fire services here have been kept busier by floods and cyclones than fire the past few years, but it was only three years ago we had Australia's worst ever fires down in Victoria (173 people killed on and around Black Saturday). Really, really scary stuff :(
