I've seen nothing on the news yet, but I woke up to the smell of smoke and a vague haze this morning. Must be a fire somewhere.
Has everybody heard about the bird?

It is never a good thing when the wildfire hashtag starts including "Complex."

It's definitely not as bad in the Upper Midwest as it is down south, but it has been dry and very windy lately.

I drove home from northern Iowa yesterday afternoon and saw huge dark smoke from a grass/brush fire near the city I was leaving and three more brush fires, from a distance, in the next sixty miles driving up Interstate 35.
