Summer
Smoke
Fire
Something local is burning fiercely. The air is thick with the smell of burning eucalyptus and fine white ash has settled on my hat.

Sentinel shows that it's still 11km away from the LCNP in the Chase - still, its not good if you live on the edge of Gargial. Its about 36 today and dry
Fires burning, fires burning
Draw nearer, draw nearer...

Its a hazard reduction burnoff.

Yikes! I wish you lots of water, or rain or both!
Is that typical to have a "fire season," or it's drought related or what? Take care.
Holy cow! Now I wish you Twittered 'cause I'd like to know what's going on.
Don't worry - It's just the natural order guys - this is Australia - so hot it B U R N S
but shit, now my washing is going to stink
Always remember to duck and cover.
Oh, sorry. Think I'm lost!
You have a good nose.
I'm out in the country, as far outside Memphis as we felt we could reasonably go and still work inside the city. People burn off fields out here from time to time. It can smell truly awful at times and make for a miserable day. We have to close up the house to try to keep the smell and the pollutants out. It makes your eyes burn and water and it stinks. Anyway, I had thought you had a huge forest fire coming your way and it was out of control or something, so I was concerned.
I was thinking that summer was a little far off but then I remembered that you live on Hthrae, where everything is backwards.

Be careful sweetie. We have lots of them here in Southern California. The most important thing is keeping your family safe.
ciao honey.
hahahahaha. Gotta love Hazard reduction burns... good old NPWS. Sorry... you gotta laugh... you really do...
Does sentinel still have the smokestack problem where it sees fire where there is only industrial areas?
It still seems to be running the same setup it had 5 years ago....
