Exhausted new parents really needed backup, but next trip I'd love to visit Portland again. Just read an ER nurse in the south saying that if you need your ankle pinned right now, sorry, not enough nurses to go around -- yikes! Thank goodness you're on the mend.

The panoramic shots from the car look rather apocalyptic.

The pandemic has been tough on so many levels, and this summer's heat and fires triple the challenge. I can't imagine trying to breathe and live with all that smoke, esp. for farmers that must work outdoors. Hope the rains come soon.

We had a box on hand because of the bad fires we've had the past several years including the three that got really close, so we were pre-supplied on masks when Covid-19 arrived. <br /><br />When even Washington looks dry, it's extra scary. My nephew lives in Bellingham now and they had their hottest day ever 98F a week or so ago.
