The lovely Mrs. Fudd and I smelled some earlier.  It turned out a guy a couple of blocks over was bar-b-queing.  At least, I think that's what we were smelling.

Today reports came in about ash and smoke in town, due to the fire in Riverside.

I smelled it too, Supermodel. Very faint, but smoke for sure.

Oh, Elmer, you were just hungry. I talked to the lovely Mrs. Fudd and she told me that you're always smelling barbecues, even when you only get chicken noodle soup for dinner; wishful thinking, I guess...

Ah yes, but it is homemade chicken noodle soup!  Does anyone have any extra BBQ ribs hanging around?

send some this way if you find them. Since I quit smoking I've developed quite an appetite for  --well--for  let's see--FOOD. ;D

Depending where you live you might be able to smell the smoke from someone in my neighborhood who burns trash in their fireplace fairly often! 1st I smell woodsmoke then comes the smell of trash burning :(

VERY!!!! Wish they wouldn't do it! And it always later in the evening when you can't see smoke coming from the chimney - so how to be sure exactly who it is? I pretty well know but proving it would be another thing.

I don't like that trashburning either. But try to keep in mind, that some people do not own a car (to take the stuff to the dump) and cannot afford to pay for trash pick-up!

Seems to me the small cost of trash service would be less than the cost of a chimney sweep as often as they would need it.  OTOH, if they can't afford anything, they're probably not sweeping the chimney.  Hope they're not a neighbor of mine....  :o

I'm smelling smoke big time just above town. Lots of wind, smoke seems to be coming from the west. Anyone know anything?

There's been a strong smell of smoke on the west side for the last couple hours.

Those of you who live near the Wrightwood Methodist Camp should be aware that the Fire Dept. still allows the camp to have campfires, purportedly because they have a large metal hood about 4 feet above the pit.  It gets used 1-2 times per week, but 50% of the time the coals are still active in the morning.

I'm sorry GirlFarmer.  That would probably be my barbeque.    I'm on the west side near the top of Apple.   I started it up around 4:15 and took the tri tip off at 6:20.    I cleaned the bbq well but I guess I put too many coals in it.   Man, that fire was HOT.   I singed the outside but wow was the inside tender.
