I took a couple of days off. Honestly and truly. Went away without my computer. Taffy, see I can do it. I am home for overnight and then back out for til Friday.

I think Idaho a burning up, literally. There are fires everywhere and smoke is horrible. The planes are flying all the time and it is getting worse. I think this the worst fire season we have had in years.

We sat on the lake in the boat yesterday and could count 4 fires in the mountains around us. Those were just the ones we could see. It's awful. Those firefighters and smokejumpers are getting worn thin. There is a huge smoke jumpers base at the airport where we are staying, and the staging area is full of planes, helicopters and tents and gear and every thing imaginable. The town is full of fire fighters and rigs and vehicles from all over the country. It's amazing how these groups pull together to help each other.

And it's only July.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot - Taffy we had fun with peeps. The girls from Salt Lake brought me a whole bag of peeps stuff and we had fun throwing peeps out for the fish. Squaw fish love peeps! I am not kidding. You tear 'em up in to little pieces and those stupid squaw fish will hit 'em and eat 'em! Better than wasting bait! Squaw fish aren't good for eating but they sure are fun to taunt with peeps! They especially like the purple ones! LOL!
