Just one birthday and one fire really. Dan's birthday was yesterday, but we celebrated on Sunday since Dan worked yesterday. We had a cake, Dan had his own individual cake. Yellow cake with chocolate frosting, the same one he wants every year. Logan happened to tell Dan that for his birthday he was having chocolate cake, and couldn't understand why Daddy didn't want a chocolate cake.
As for the fire, Albuquerque and most of New Mexico has been pretty smoky the past few days and it continues to get worse. The smoke is from the Wallow fire in AZ though not far from the NM border, as of last night it hadn't spread into NM but I'm sure it will. It's a huge fire, there's 0% containment. NM is cutting trees and clearing a path, I'm assuming they're hoping that if it runs out of fuel it will at least give them a chance to get it under control. Last night the smoke was so thick and so bad, I think the news said there was only 1 mile of visibility. You could actually see ashes falling from the sky. These are some pictures taken about 7:15pm. The orange/redish sky is all from smoke, not the sunset or a storm. These are views out the front and back yards. Though it looks like the pictures have had their color altered I assure you this is exactly what it looked like. It's supposed to be like this until Thursday at least. The days aren't too bad, it's hazy and you can smell the smoke but it not until the evenings and night that the smoke just lays over the city like this. Hopefully the firefighters will be able to get some control over this fire soon.
