    Our home is on fire

    We have to reduce CO2 emissions I took these photos on the way to work this morning. The smoke is from fires in Washington State. Air Quality is poor across the Island including Port Alberni. I try to keep politics to a bare minimum here but it has to be said. We all just voted…
