The End!
It’s a sleepy day here at the ranch. After a mammoth thunderstorm that took place in the middle of the night, forcing me awake with the bright flashes of white light along with sounds of the sky cracking in half, the fog has rolled in, reducing my visibility to zero. Though this kind of weather can be somewhat disheartening if they last for a few days in a row, due to the true feeling of pure isolation that they cause, today I am grateful as the last week has been too warm for my liking. For basically the whole month of July, it rained. I think it was around 187mm in total that I received here at my site, and other areas of Alberta received even more. This has not been an average fire season whatsoever. My supervisor told me about a week ago that by now they would have usually had about 200-250 wildfires pop up in this district. At that time, the number was actually at around 38. Quite a difference. However, I expect that many of the fire detection workers in Alberta are rather gratefu...
