Colorado fires

I hope all of our Brothers and Sisters In Styrene in the Boulder area are safe. It's crazy what is going on there right now. Almost seems like California.....

I can remember reading somewhere about how this stuff would begin to happen!

Wouldn't have read about it myself since it was way before my time, but I think this is what my mom was talking about when she was growing up in the Depression years of the 1930s. I'll have to ask her when I visit her tomorrow. Bad as 2021 was for amazing fires, the total acreage was still less than a third overall (according to the National Fire Information Center) of what it was for the mid- late-1930s, which were also the years of the big Dust Bowl drought. She grew up north of that area and didn't experience that hardship directly, but told stories of how the dust ended making the sunsets more colorful, sorta like what the eruption of Mt Pinatubo did for a while after 1991, which I do remember myself.
