Colorado, why you like dis?

Since yesterday there have been raging wildfires about twenty miles from us. Now, it's across a mountain, and you can see the smoke behind it billowing up, and tonight you can smell it. The fire relief planes and stuff were going regularly this afternoon, and earlier they were saying that the burning is decreasing and that the winds may be turning it back. But.

Obviously I'm a fretting fretter of frettingness, but Scott is unconcerned. "This happens like every three years," he says. "This is why there are defensible lines. Even in the absolute worst case scenario and it leaped over the mountain and got within city limits it wouldn't be a thing because of all the fire breaks."

Okay. Fine. You say so. Look, there was an epic flood three years ago, that was scary, I do not want to get involved in evacuations and stuff again, please please please. Must work on my karma? But in the meantime: Obsessing over news reports and fretting.
