Paula, yes, the smoke up here is terrible, now the heat also. I looked at your Coloma picture and I see you captured our envirionment perfectly. Howver, at times you have it just as bad. You have a nice blog but our very slow dial-up makes it almost impossible to wait for everything to load up. We can't do anything about it for now. No DSL or wireles available. Satalite is too pricey so we wait. We cannot even view MySpace, U tubve and the likes inless we have the time for it to load up.
