The Bright Side

One good thing about the approaching hurricane. It will probably put out the huge peat fire in the Great Dismal Swamp which has been stinking up Southeastern VA periodically (dependent on wind direction). Some days its seemed like pea soup fog, but it's really smoke. It smells like wet dog with a hint of charcoal. This has gone on for weeks. 

Here's how it looks from the International Space Station:



...and here's how it looks going into the Monitor Merrimack Bridge Tunnel when the wind is blowing from the swamp.


Some days it's like living in Silent Hill.

So, this month we've had fires, earthquakes and now the hurricane.

Soon...
