Two military choppers just flew right over the top of our tree line!  It was freaking awesome!  Loud too.

*just saw a post that the DC-10 is back

No large flare ups right now.  Things are being contained in the fire lanes.  I could see no significant smoke from 105 today.

On another note they are still getting reports of illegal burns.
