We had been eagerly anticipating cooler weather, which had been in the forecast for over a week. As the promised day got closer, it started to include rain, which, given the fires, was Very Exciting. Yesterday was The Day! Temperatures did indeed drop. Also, four crews of hotshots arrived from the Lower 48 to help fight fires, and four more are set to arrive today! So things are heading in a better direction. Yesterday was also DL's birthday, so it was also nice to eat something besides cold sandwiches and salads, and chow mein (which is the only thing I'm willing to cook in the heat). Seared ahi seemed celebratory!
Here is a map of fires in Alaska, which recirculates every few years. I sure hope it remains every few years and does not increase in frequency!
The girls look comfy. Do you think they are comfy? I sure hope they are comfy.
