Smoke Again

I wrote yesterday about smoke, and how I like some smoke odors, and smoked meat and cheese.

This morning, there is smoke odor in the air that I dislike. It is an acrid smoke, and reminds of the smoke produced by cotton seed hulls burning, a process that I believe is illegal but happens often.

The fires damaging so much of this nation are heading close:  Friday morning the Lubbuck Avalanche Journal documented that one house burned and another was charred before a fire was under control in the city.  Today, KCBD Channel 11 is carrying a story about a fire west of Lubbock in Cochran County, and a story about 3 homes that burned in Floydada, northeast of Lubbock.  Because of the high winds, these fires are dangerous, as are so many of the other fires in the country.
