Fires

California was getting all the attention. Colorado made it through the entire summer major-fire-free. That ended today. Suddenly there are big fires all over the front range.

Castle Rock, where we were last weekend. The foothills above Boulder. The mountains in Jefferson County.

Tinder dry, and winds gusting to 70 miles per hour. So far, I think the firefighters are mostly well trained spectators, evacuating residents.
