"smoke gets in your eyes"

Somewhere south of Savannah a fire is burning...
has been since April.
We call the place Okefenokee Swamp.
Yes, it is a swamp fire,
mosaic in nature,
meaning it jumps around alot.....
it will have fuel whichever way it goes.
You can see the fire
on the satellite image above
provided by Don Staples.
(the picture was taken back in April
when the fire was much smaller.)

Savannah is misted with smoke from this fire.
Some days it is not here at all,
other days,
like today,
you can hardly breathe.
It's all according to how the wind is blowing.

Coupled with the high temperatures,
it has become very unpleasant to be outside.
No one sees an end in sight.

David and Erika left today to go get Gus.
God willing,
this time next week,
he will be here with his family.
Pray...
please.
