So I was sitting in the dining room eating dinner and I look out the door and see a layer of fog like smoke. Today has been one of those windy days, the kind of wind that will take your hat off and send it 1000' down the road. My first thought was what idiot is burning brush today. Then my second thought was oh crap my neighbor was burning the ditch yesterday maybe the wind got it going again. I am just west of him so it would be coming toward my shop.
I went running outside only to smell burning pine with a hint of lighter fluid. I realized my neighbor was only starting her stove for the night. Usually when she starts it there is a lot of smoke but not this mosquito fogging cloud. I have tried to explain to her that starting her stove with a few small splits and some newspaper or a supercedar is easier and cheaper than 4 large logs and half a bottle of lighter fluid.
