Well, what with the sulfurous pall and the triple digit temperatures, we’re either experiencing a crappy summer, or a great viral marketing campaign for Hell. The fire isn’t even particularly close, and yet there’s a huge plume of smoke roiling over the hills behind our building.
And the next wingnut who smugly declares that his unseasonably cool local weather means global climate change is a myth will be cordially invited to eat the ashes I just scraped off my windshield. The buffet line forms to the right, ladies and gents.
If you hadn’t said that it’s a smoke cloud, Scott, I would have thought it was a big white summer cumulus building up to thunderhead status, portending rain. They often look like that on hot summer afternoons where I live (northern NJ). Wow, that’s a lot of smoke. Stay safe.
Wood ash is good for adding some pH neutrality to acid soils, plus some nutrients, but I don’t recall hearing that it improves human mental function. But perhaps your goal in inviting wingnuts to eat your ash was not altruistic?
