[QUOTE="Kathie in Thorp, post: 953887, member: 16769"] On Sept. 8, we had a thunder storm that dropped very little rain, but lots of light show, with over 4,000 lightening strikes in our county and one neighboring. Lots of timber afire now. Although the edge of the fire line isn't many miles from us, everything between here and there is already black, so we are safe where we sit. But the smoke is horrible -- at the highest "ugy" that air quality can get and it's been that way for days. Have been waiting for the cattle to start hacking, but so far, it's just me and hubby hacking. If you need any hams or jerky meat smoked, just send it over and we'll hang it up in a tree -- all natural and it shouldn't take long! Our Nov. butcher beef will be pre-smoked at slaughter. :yuck: There was a public information meeting in town last night about the current fire(s) situation. A friend attended and came back with this synopsis: "We have fires...we had lots more fires, but they got so big they became bigger fewer fires....If you have to go to a evac zone call to take an escort, but remember you are putting others at risk doing that...and finally...don't make any more fires we have enough already." :lol: On a happier (?) note, we brought in a couple nice 400-wt. black baldie steers today from a young local guy. We got a steer from him a couple months ago, too; he raises some nice cattle and takes good care of 'em. [/QUOTE]
