The smoke drifted down to my hometown for a while. I lived in Silent Hill for a day or two.

Where do you live?

Ft. McMurray is in northern Alberta, which is 1500 KMs (over 900 miles) to the border with Montana. They're not seeing the wildfire smoke in Edmonton or Calgary, which are also too far away from Fort McMurray, despite being in the same province.

Iowa, unless it's changed.

Iowa indeed.

It was last weekend, as I recall, and that was definitely not fog.

No major fires in the area were reported, and I was under the impression that there was some major drift to the smoke.

Smoke from wildfire blankets Iowa

A thick smoke plume caused by a northern Minnesota wildfire has been rolling south through Iowa on Saturday, the National Weather Service said....Although a giant wildfire that has all but consumed the city of Fort McMurray, Alberta, has been in the headlines, it is coincidental the blazes overlapped, said Allan Curtis, a meteorologist with the weather service. As of 8 p.m., Curtis said the worst of the smoke was behind the Des Moines metropolitan area, with most of the smoke in southern Iowa or northern Missouri.

Looks like it was from a wildfire in Minnesota

That makes way more sense.

(As a gloating point, Aizle, if you ever still check this forum - note on the map I posted that I live SOUTH of you! Muahahaha.)

I have all of you beaten in that department.

Do we have no gladers in Florida? Seems to me Miami is south of even Brownsville (southernmost Texas city)

Anyway, it's counterintuitive that parts of Ontario are south of the entire states of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusettes, Vermont, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North AND South Dakota, Montana, and Washington. (I'm not on the southern tip of Ontario, but I'm still south of places like Minneapolis, Green Bay, Seattle and Portland (Both Maine AND Oregon.)

Does where I was born count?

I love Puerto Rico.

Ain't never been there, they tell me it's nice

Shortly after my birth he was transferred to Norton AFB in California. I wish I had a nickel for every time he told the story about how the Air Force only flew him (us) to the east coast (North Carolina I believe), and he had to drive across the country in an old beater car with no AC. This was in August of 1963 mind you, driving across the south and southwest on the way to Southern California. Wife, 7 year old, 4 year old, and a six month old. Just listening to him tell it was painful. I guess I was quite unhappy with the circumstances and made it very well known.

Vlad's a Floridian these days (or, was, last time I heard), but I want to say he's in the panhandle, so doesn't beat DE.
