Transfer Station
Transfer station looks great. Will it stay that way? When I see a questionable loaded vehicle backed up, I will drive in if I feel comfortable, and strike up a conversation about bears etc.
Power restored at 3:24, hoping they finished everything.
Free addition for your compost. I won't be moving it until it dries. I left the truck higher in the driveway last night, and one of the cows took advantage.

New Sign, Buck Road
Approximate location of caution tape and sign. I'm not interested in digging for pins or anything else. Contrary to the sign, there is access from that cul de sac. Posting for your information. Not getting involved unless there becomes an issue with the creek again.
Today's news............
In the clueless department, US officials complaining of Canadian wildfire smoke crossing the border.
Canadian aircraft and crews continue to support USA wildfire fighting efforts.
Can't fix stupid................hard to find the right words...........
- shall we start with trespassing?
- tampering with a utility?

Stateside Fires
Thanks to our stateside reporter ;) for providing the update last night just as I was starting to smell smoke. I didn't bother to post, as the fire south of Oroville was already contained.
If you follow RDKB on Facebook, they are posting updates on the fire south of Christina Lake. A change in wind last night blew that fire back on itself. RDKB provided good links for checking on those fires.
Thanks to the Canadian aircraft and pilots for assisting our neighbours to the south.
