The Dismal Swamp is burning - North Carolina is burning - and all the smoke is here in Kempsville outside (and inside) my house!
Too bad they're not making whiskey - there's peat a plenty burning around here - and all we're getting is watery eyes, coughs and scratchy throats! This morning it looked foggy but it was actually smoke haze in the air . . . between the heat a few weeks ago (with smoke then too!) and the increasing amount of smoke, this summer is stacking up as one of a kind!
The newspaper said that North Carolina officials said that the rainfall from a hurricane would be needed to put out the fires there - peat is up to 12 feet deep. Here in the Dismal it's about 3 feet deep so we DON'T need a hurricane - just 10 inches of rain!! Maybe the rain expected this evening or tomorrow will take some of the smoke out of the air - time will tell!
Oh well - I'll stock up on Sudafed (the REAL stuff), Excedrine and plenty of fluids!
PS - in the klutz department (again), I (apparently) tossed my wrist brace out with some garbage - SIGH. I've gotten another (different) one from Walgreens and will hit the medical supply store on Monday to get another one like the old one! GEEZE

I beg to differ about ALL of the smoke being in Kempsville - Red Mill has had it's share of it too! Even Zippy doesn't want to stay outside long! Glad you found another wrist support - don't you just hate those kind of days?
