Grsthegreat - the rain missed us also. Yesterday afternoon - a few drops were seen on the little lake. Not enough to even wet the leaves out on the lawn. We are supposedly getting more today. But - more what??? Just more hope.....??

However - the cooler weather and raised humidity has helped contain the brush fires. Strangely - small ones are popping up everywhere. Three miles north of me - right along the county road. Burned an acre or so. At a lake about five miles east of me - again a couple acres.

The fire fighters are being stretched beyond belief. All this small crap and they are still working on the big one - the Gray Road fire.

Some rain would be a real relief.

Yesterday I had to take Brownie in for his summer haircut. All of a sudden - it became immediately clear how all these fires were really affecting us here.

Went five miles north on the county road. It's closed due to fire and fire vehicles. I turned around and took the only other route to get to Cheney. Twenty five miles extra for a normal ten mile trip.

I-90 is closed - in both directions - diverted onto 904 and thru Cheney to get around the Gray Rd fire. Both of our local, county roads were closed.

When I got into Cheney - what a MESS. ALL of the I-90 traffic was being diverted onto highway 904 and right thru Cheney. There were semi trucks backed up - in both directions - as far as the eye could see.

By the time I picked Brownie up from his haircut - the small county roads were back open. All the I-90 traffic was still diverted thru Cheney though.

This I-90 diversion could go on for quite a while. At least until they get a handle on the Gray Rd fire.
