For the everlasting record, this is a Google image of the Vantage Bridge and the photo I took on 19 Aug 2018…… the awful forest fires in our state (and Canada) have given us AWFUL, TERRIBLE smoky conditions.

If you look really close at the right side of the lower photo, you’ll see the end of the bridge.

As I zoomed along at 70 mph, I thought of how forest fires have forever been with us and how did our ancestors, who surely suffered from asthma too, dealt with such awful smoke?
