Things continue to get more “normal” – temperature/air quality-wise.  Karl and I took a long walk yesterday for the first time in many weeks.  The sky was cloudy, but patches of blue and the clouds were just clouds, not smoke.  The air smelled clean after the rain and I was comfortable walking in shorts and sweatshirt.  They have allowed a lot of evacuees back to their homes and are starting to get containment on the fires that were threatening structures.  It is still far from over and the “wrong” weather could kick things up again but for the moment it feels more normal.
