I hate the fact that it’s almost fall now, and we’re seeing temperatures around 100 degrees fahrenheit and smoke from first fires. In September.
Honestly, with the fact that every summer has terrible blazes that fill the sky with haze, I get kinda nostalgic. It’s simply part of summer for me. Like, yeah. It’s wildfire season, that’s cool and normal.
:’)
You just made me feel old. Smoke-filled summers is not a normal thing for Eugene. It’s a relatively recent thing, it’s bad, and it’s a sign of climate change.
No I agree, it’s very bad. But it’s the coolest summer we’ll have for a while so I’m enjoying it for now. 🤙
@kescusay I remember a couple of years ago, the first rain of the autumn was ash instead of water. Hopefully it doesn’t get that bad again.
Ugh, that was awful. 2020, right? So COVID-19, then horrific fires with smoke blotting out the sky. Felt like the end of the world.
