monsoons can't get here soon enough

Absolutely miserable/gross on the western slope (of Colorado) right now from smoke and heat. We're in such extreme drought that it seems like every little fire is flaring up terribly. It shouldn't be "that time of year" yet. So here's hoping the monsoon brings as much precip as anticipated and we get some very welcome relief! Gotta throw some optimism into the void somehow!

(For you European folks that main smoke column from below the word Utah towards the word Colorado is just roughly the length of the UK or Germany in size. But way less in size than area of the heat wave y'all are experiencing!)

Wow, we just got REALLY lucky with our vacation!

We just got back yesterday from two weeks of driving between Ohio and Los Angeles, the kid wanted to go to Disney and Super Nintendo World at Universal. Along the way we stopped at eight national parks - not long enough for an in-depth visit to most, but at least enough time for him to earn his junior ranger badge at each.

The five southern Utah parks were Thursday-Sunday, the skies were mostly clear and weather nice, but thinking back there was definitely more haze than I expected. We did notice what looked like smoke on the horizon just before we left Nevada in I-15, it looks like that was indeed the case.

(Just wanted to add that I definitely feel for everyone affected by this. Ohio winters are usually grey and dreary, summers muggy with the occasional threat of tornadoes - but I'll take that over having to deal with wildfires.)
