Day started well enough, but the good vibes didn’t last.
It’s 6:05 and there’s a fire out near the Amazon plant. Another one in Teller County near Cripple Creek. Both are being fanned by the heavy winds and dry weather. Not worried so much about the one in town, but deeply worried about the one in the mountains. It’s heavily treed up there, and won’t take long to spread. Don’t see it contained anytime soon.
K was on a return flight from NY. Plane was rerouted to Denver, owing to the high winds. Now the airport’s been evacuated because of the fire near the Amazon plant.
Welcome to summer in Colorado—and it’s still only May.
