Here is what things were looking like at the intersection of Highway 35 and 84 this morning, where Alice's Restaurant is located. Kind of smoky. 
But the smoke was even worse than this in spots along I-280.

And I thought the smoke  was bad here in Reno.

At locations along I-280, the smoke was so thick that you could only see about 1/4 mile and my eyes were burning while riding through it. And that area is no where near the fires that are burning in the other side of the mountains, near the coast.

I just now got up to my house in Cold Springs Valley. I rode my DS up here as I usually do (around 20 miles). Here, I can see about a half mile. I just looked out my window here which has a view of White Lake. I can actually see it, about a quarter mile away. But I cannot see the hills behind it, which are very clear when there is no smoke.

If you people would just rake your forests, like the President told you to THREE YEARS AGO!!!....

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I mean, we do that a little bit:  Raking around the house reduces built-up duff.  Tho I had lots more than I could remove, it fills some gaps behind the house and I don't have good surfaces there... Anyhow.  It is part of taking care of the house, making sure that the duff and bushes don't bump up against the house or are separated in good gaps that can be defended.

So all afternoon Tuesday and Wednesday, I raked around the house.

But it doesn't really do much for the forest.
