LTBC, we have fire planes, the ones that dump chemicals and water and whatever taking off from the airport near us much of the summer every year. I think fire season is off to an early start this year, and I don't think we're going to get much moisture for a while, unfortunately.

As Tater mentioned, we have had unseasonable heat too -- so much for my plan to start commuting to work this past week! The ride home is up hill and not necessarily good for this kid when it's 105 or more! I did ride on Tuesday, and that was the first time I've wished for a bottle cage on my bike: for head water! (camelbaks don't do that well!)
