Sharing this rant to #EndFossilFuels again since *after* I made this, *another* fire started even closer to #PortAlberni. Like so many other towns this year, it has threatened all of our homes and lives.
There is blame to lay: it is at the feet of the fossil fuel industry.
To every person in […]
we are now on Stage 3 water restrictions! No fill *or* topping up of ponds or pools! So that definitely captures the #poolpond ;)
I'm going to go get an adapter for my little pond pump hose so it can hook up to a regular garden hose and we'll use all the #pool water for watering the gardens […]
2/2 I continued blogging Alberniweather and on FB and Twitter but I gradually removed my personal self from Facebook and eventually during the Pandemic, I decided the Facebook environment was just too toxic even for weather stuff and I shut down my page and left Facebook completely.
The impact […]
throat is sore from being outside too long in the smoke tonight. :(
Even with the A/C on in the car and on recirculating (no outside air).
Was starting to feet that tight chest feeling.
Feeling better now that I have been inside for awhile.

I found this in the back as I was cleaning up in case we need to evacuate.
Am I being too subtle?

Smoke rises above the mountain in the distance
The picture I took yesterday of the whole line with rubber
if it comes down to it and the fire is on our doorstep I am goong to have to fill the #poolpond with water at least partially. The EDPM rubber liner may be flammable if exppsed to a direct flame. A giant fire hole would not be good....
