I have dealt with my share of brush fires, and I am about done with the smoke, from the Dismal Swamp fire.

I guess I mostly lived on the ocean side of the majority of the fire that occurred, and the prevalent sea breeze made it so the smoke went the other way. That was normally the case, unless there was a Santa Anna wind, and then it was only for a couple of days.

Of course I am still trying to get my brain around the whole concept of a swamp burning…
