Getting Smoky Again
I am back from dinner, lasagna, not my favorite. The food here is not too bad. I get three squares provided by the Feds because I am outside of my home dispatch in Palmer. It sure saves me a lot of money on food, and the meals are balanced and often very good. The smoke has rolled back in, in force! Although this is the land of the midnight sun, it's dusk at 7:30 due to smoke. Those in charge of our aircraft are slightly panicked as landing in 1/4 mile visibility is frankly impossible. Flights will be canceled and diverted. This better be gone by the 24th when I am scheduled to go home. I doubt that the smoke will stop the commercial flights at the international airport though, they have electronic tools to take care of them.
I go off duty in less than 30 minutes, I am currently working twelve hour shifts so quitting time is important. I will snap some pictures of the smoke and post them once I get my film developed. Yes I am using a film camera, not a digital, it's actually a disposable I picked up on my day off. I ordered a digital the other day, but am having it delivered to my Wasilla address so I will not have it until I get home on the 24th. I do have some pictures I can pull off of my computer to post, but I'll have to check and get back to you. I think that's enough typing for today, I'll put more history up tomorrow.
