Something near three weeks ago, smoke rolled into Montana from fires in Washington and Oregon. The smoke not only persisted; it thickened with contributions from wildfires in Canada and then right here in Montana. At the same time, extremely hot temperatures settled upon us.
Early
in August, my car logged a temperature of 105°F, matching our all-time record
high.
Yesterday,
while driving through another hot afternoon of ever-thickening smoke, I said to
Desiree, “Honey, I can’t even see the mountains for all the smoke. I think if
we get another week of this, we’re going to be smoked fish.”
